I am purchasing some of these bullets in 30 cal. Am looking for expiriences and opinions on these bullets.

Thanks, Steve

It would appear that not too many of you all have an opinion on these bullets, or have not used them. They are difficult to get a hold of. I have read everything I can get a hold of, which is mainly their web site. A very good read I thought. On their site they have a link under " useful stuff" to an article called Shooting Holes in Wounding Theories. This article goes into the physics of how a bullet acts on the impact of an animal. I would love to hear a discussion with all of you about this. This guys stuff is very technical, and a long read. Very worth the time.
PS He is not a GS guy, they just link to his web site. Here is the address if you don't want to do the link thing. www.rathcoombie.net/sci-tech/ballistics/wounding.html#introduction

IMO, that link is great, it helps that I agree with about 90% of his views [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The links from there are useful and make for some good reading too.
The SC study was interesting even though I don't really agree with the results. It is interesting to see any large group of data that involves a lot of animals shot. IMO, I think that it puts into perspective how many shots on game it may take to get useful results regarding a particular type of bullet.

Your link did not work for me, here is the one that I use:

If you order from GS have them air shipped!! It took 2 years to get the order I placed due to getting lost in ground shipping.
I ordered a few 375 bullets for the 375/50BMG but unfortunatly I sold the gun last fall and never did get a chance to see how they shot.
I also ordered a few .224 bullets for the 8 twist 22-250 but the gun is down for repairs waiting for funds to fix a poor chamber,thread and crown job....never asume the local smith knows what he is doing!!
In the order where a few 6.5 bullets too but I was in a nasty fall last summer and have yet to do any load work for the 6.5-284 or 6.5Sweede.The plan is to have the 6.5s up and running for antilope,deer hunting this fall.
His site has a lot of info that will have you reading and thinkin fer a long time and he has ben very helpfull in giveing advise to get his bullets shooting with a minimum of load work.Kinda spendy but I'm convident at this point that they will be at least acceptable,timel tell?The plan is to use wet telephone books for a backstop dureing load testing to se how they expand.
The pic showes a couple of his bullets against the competition.

If they were stationed here instead of S. Africa I would used them exclusively. I can not say enough good thing about them.

The bulets are FLAWLESS!!! +1 on what POP said....if they were readily available here....I would use nothing but GS. I have used them in 300WM, 280, 280AI, and 243. My wife and I are both in their gallery section.
