Hey Dakotadeer, I think I'm going to try this. What sort of speeds do you drive them to? Looks like you could get up to 3300 or so, but I'm guessing that much isn't needed. I just got off the phone with a rep from Barnes and he said anything over 2700 or so and it would start shedding petals... which I guess isn't a bad thing?

Curious to know what speeds you were driving. Thanks.


Not chronoed, but given powder charges and expected velocities, they are at or over 3100fps. Don't know if they shed petals or not as we have not recovered any. But by the look of the wound channel, it appears to go straight, deep, out the other side. I like that.
