[QUOTE="41mag, post: 757252, member: 3804"] I have had mixed results with their rifle bullets, but some darned great accuracy from their handgun ones. Unfortunately they dropped the half jacketed SWC's from their line. It seemed that usually the boat tail on some of their bullets was the culprit with the same weight FB bullet shooting great in this or that rifle. Not that the BT couldn't be made to shoot well just it was WAY more touchy about things than the standard spitzer. As far as shooting tiny groups I would stick with the FB designs and try not to push them at the top end loads. Just my experiences with them they seemed to have a bit softer jacket material than some others did, and possibly fouled the barrel a bit more easily. For hunting they were dynamite on everything I put them on. I never was concerned with the exposed lead tips as I never found they were damaged too much with the standard loads I used. Possibly in a magnum round or some of the top end loads they might be though. I just purchased a couple of boxes of the .257 120gr Spitzers to try in my 25-06 AI and my daughters standard version. Good luck with your loads I hope they do well for you. [/QUOTE]
