I've been researching European brand bullets since the cartridge is popular over there for big game hunting, but keep hitting dead ends and disabled pages. Came across this bullet in my search. Available for about 85 cents each. Just an FYI, velocities are 22HP, or above that for the 221 Falcon. Any thoughts on a solid brass bullet with a hollow point and a minimum impact velocity of 1500 fps on big game?
