After a lengthy announcement and wait from Speer, the IMPACT line has been made available to handloaders. Currently only available in only .264" and. 308" this is a long range high BC tipped bonded bullet, which is new territory for SPEER.
I wanted to try these in my 6.5 Creedmoor so I picked up 2 boxes. I read that these were being loaded in the Remington Premier line of ammo which would explain why it took so long for them to be available as component bullets.
I'll say that upon initial inspection they seem to be a well made bullet, and not just a tipped version of the gold dot / fusion rather they appear to me a new design, possibly made in a similar fashion.
I was curious if anyone has any first hand experience in either the accuracy or on game performance or both. I just received my order so I haven't had the chance to start load development yet.
