[quote=jwp475 Jeff, GS Cutom advocates shooting thier bullets fast enough to blow the petals of,this leaves a smaller frontal area,as well as a flat point solid that is now shoulder stabilized with the petals gone and increases penetration..........[/quote]
I concur. Look what kind of damage a non- expanding cast bullet can do!
Do not discount flat points at all!

Good info!
Thanks, Jeff
to add... dang funny if an X looses a petal or more, failure starts being the shout, then GS says its the way it should be. I"d say I'd not particularly want the petals off, but it won't hurt that much either.

OK I have to admit I can�t wait. I would like to see it in a 150Gr .308 & a 200Gr .338.
But I am on board� If the price is a little more than Partitions then it�s a winner�.
Frankly it hah been a while since I have used something other than a Nosler.

Now that's not too bad a price. I might just have to stop in Bend when I'm on my scouting trip down there next week.

Have they said what caliber/weight configurations they are going to produce? Would love to see a 125gr .308 and a 110gr 6.5...

This past season I was hunting elk with 180g factory e tips in my m70 300wsm. They killed my little buck fine (actually, I've never seen so much damage even w/ 12ga), didn't shoot any at elk. I did take the heads off a couple grouse with them in the 60 - 80 yard range though, it's a good way to relieve frustration. My 180g PT reloads aren't quite as accurate. I'll be loading them for sure next season.

I would hope for boxes of at least 50, but would prefer 100 counts.
