Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Failsafe bullets

I used a lot of these bullets back in the '90s and early into this century. Never had one fail to open but a friend did on one elk. He was shooting factory 300Win mag ammo loaded with 150r FSs. The component bullets I've had that were made and packaged by Nosler had moly coating. I didn't buy many of them at all as I had a source for the Lubalox coated ones that were to be loaded into the factory ammo. Allen Day and I both used them in Africa with very good results on various plains species, and Allen killed a couple of his buffalo with them, using his 300mag no less! To say they penetrated well would be an understatement. In more recent years the TTSX from Barnes has pretty much pushed them out of the picture for me, even though I still have a good supply of them. They have too many pieces/parts and were expensive to manufacture, but they shot and killed awfully well for me.
