[QUOTE="mcdil, post: 2259330, member: 112571"] Northkill, We were really hoping to have all five initial bullets listed on the site ready for load work-up time prior to this hunting season, but that didn't pan out as we decided to iterate the design one last time prior to final release. We will start with the 30 cal 153 gr and hope to have those available by October. The others will follow shortly thereafter as well as other calibers and different twist rates within caliber. The ones fired in the test above were the originals. The delineation between the proto above and the production bullets will be in the low velocity response and the petal reaction. All else will be the same. The proto above, has petals that predominantly travel along the same path as the shank after separation. The production versions will have petals that radiate away from centerline, something we feel is more desirable. Furthermore, the proto will open below 2000 fps, but we wanted ultimate performance at lower velocities as well, and the production version accomplishes that where the proto, in our opinion was lacking. If you happen to check out the FAQs section, you will see the result of the production version at 1644 fps. Full petal separation radiating away from center and straight penetration for the shank.
