[QUOTE="Axl, post: 1676523, member: 90110"] The Winchester Ammunition ( Olin Corp.) Fail Safe's were a gilding metal bullet made by Nosler with a steel encased lead shank, they were replaced, with the XP3 that had a bonded lead shank, gilding metal front and a plastic tip. This was done due to manufacturing costs and a relatively low B.C. of the Fail Safe. No one was killed and Winchester (Olin Corp.) was never sued from a Fail Safe passing through an animal and hitting them. Olin Corp. was sued over their Black Talon handgun ammo and did rename and redesign it. At that time the rifle ammo loaded with the Fail safe bullets was called Black Talon. That name was removed.
