The title really says it all but I do remember some reviews somewhere that one was the first step you take into custom bullets and then the other the one that you graduate to after trouble with the first one tried. I just can't remember which one is which. It's on game performance that matters to me. I like to shoot just to shoot but if I'm paying for a custom bullet it better do more than shoot accurately... it better perform on game. My shots on game come too seldom to waste time or an animal because it fails on game. Please tell me what you know, particularly if it's first hand experience.
Which has better reviews Hawk or Fury custom bullets?

I haven’t tried the furry bullets as of yet , but will be as I had a hawk 200 grain .035 jacket in a .348 completely come apart on a black bears shoulder last week . I found only fragments and several just under the hide of the shoulder he was hit on . Fortunantly enough fragments and bone destroyed a lung and was able to recover him , but the bullet did not perform any where near as well as I was told by the owner that they would . I would not trust them on big game again

I quit using Hawk bullets in my 356 Win years ago. Performance on game was erratic at best.

I used a Furry .358 220gr in my 35 Whelen couple years ago and it did well on a WV whitetail. Grouped under an inch at 100yds and held together pretty well in a jug test at that distance going into 4th or fifth jug. So, I'd say it was a worthwhile bullet.
