Anyone have thoughts on this? Has anyone used the Speer Impact bullet?

Well I find that video absolutely useless what range or what were the impact velocities long-range bullet is a long-range bullet if that's the performance at around 1800 feet per second I'm impressed
I have not, but I always like to see new offerings, especially collaboration (Remington and Speer). Speer currently has limited offerings for reloaders, https://www.speer.com/bullets/rifle_bullets/. I expect negative feedback before anyone tries it because it is from Remington.

While I agree with your assessment, these introductions videos, whether for bullets, cartridges or rifles, are really just puff pieces. They aren't meant to provide any real useful information but tease you into reading more and realistically, buying whatever it is that they're selling. Rarely will I ever select a video such as the above because they serve no purpose. Sometimes a search will yield some decent reviews which have some relevant information or data. The videos like this, never.
I did find some of the Impact bullets actually in stock and available for shipping so I ordered a few boxes for testing.
Remington Ammunition is now owned by Vista Outdoors, and not the Remington of old. Federal and Speer are also owned by Vista, so it is not unusual for the products to overlap. https://vistaoutdoor.com/brands/
Bet they are Speer Gold Dots

Looks like a tipped gold dot/fusion bullet--- Gold dot/fusion bullets work very well....they used to sell a 95,110,120, and 130 grain for 6.8/.277 and they all worked very well at 6.8spc speeds.
In fact that's what the mil contract ammo was for the 6.8spc rifles-- 95gr gd
Has anyone messed around with the impact bullets?

Speer Impact. Not the same thing but close. If I understand correctly they use the same plating process as the gold dot and also the federal fusion which is made by Speer. Has a polymer tip and a higher bc by a lot.

That's exactly what it is.
