I have purchased both Lubalox and molyed Fail Safes as component bullets. The moly versions were in bulk packaging. I soaked the moly off with paint thinner. I loaded them with the data for the original Barnes X and never had a problem. The fail safes seemed to have a love hate relationship about them. One lease even banned them for deer and Ross Sigfried thought the 270 140 was about the best Elk bullet around. I liked them but the complicated design did not help accuracy, too many components that could get out of alignment.


"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
