There was a post about a year ago that covered the Freedom Arms bullets.. I posted a pic of a 260gr jfp recovered from Shiras moose that only lost 0.2gr. and could be reloaded while Gregg Richter showed one of his recoverd FA`s bullets that performed as if the lead was much softer then mine...There were changes..
