I never shot them on paper, just shot one over the Magnetospeed and one into the jugs at 25 yards. I was very impressed with what dumped outta the last jug. Semper Fi

I was in their shop about 20 years ago. They must have moved it somewhere else. I've got some .338 and .375 bullets if someone want to buy them cheap. I've tried before, but no takers . . . . .

That thing is gong to knock 12Ga slug holes through animals, I cant wait to use it on something big, I have zero experience, but don't believe even a big brown bear will shake one of those off. Trump Won!

Went back and reread the North61 thread, StarchedCover reports deer, pigs, moose and even the tough nilgai haven't caught one of these bullets, sounds to me like they're a hell of a hammer, cant wait for my rifle to get back from the Smiths with case-hardening done so I can begin working up a good accuracy load. Trump Won!

I just ordered two more boxes of the 348 - 250 grain bullets and I one box of 358 - 225 grain to try in my new 358 WCF. StarchedCover Semper Fi
