Thanks! It was my day to look good-I take them when I get them.

That is good to know.

With a minimum impact velocity of around 1600 fps-A bonded bullet with decent BC and still opens up at slower speeds, always gets my attention.

Cool Crossbow

I compared bullet weights and BC's from what list listed on Speer's page versus Federal and they don't match up, so my guess at this time would be that the fusion bullets are different, from what Speer lists on their site.

That would be interesting to know confirmation on-If someone here knows, I would like to know.

Come for a visit, and maybe we can work out some bugs

Cold bore shot at 100 yards, before shooting steel.

I am pretty sure this bullet (172 grain) is Not going away next year

I have been shooting a new bonded tipped bullet in my 15.75" center-grip 308 Winchester, XP-100 for a upcoming antelope hunt. Speer of all things...172 grain Impact bullet. With a chosen load and seated deep I still shot around half MOA off of a Harris bipod and small field bag, and it shot...

Have the throats been uniformed? Grouping at 25 yards? Try several groups with all 3-shots or all 6-shots from the same cylinder-Mark it with a sharpie to make sure you are using the same one. Curious as to what that brings you in terms of accuracy.

The importance of this consistency, allows your crimp to be consistent, which can have a impact on MV.

Well SAID!

Understood. Are you wanting to hunt with this 357 Magnum? If so, what would be your comfortable max distance?

The way we did load development when I was doing my 500 yard 357 magnum steel goal, was chronoing our loads changing the crimp tension until we got into single digits. Thinking we might have used the lee crimp die...That has been a minute since we did that. How are your groups on paper at 100...
