So I have a box of 140gr Fail Safe bullets in 7mm that I can shoot out of my 7mm-08 or 7mm Rem Mag, question is what are these bullets good for? Cant find much info on them
Thanks in advance for your input.
Thanks in advance for your input.
They were Winchesters version of the Barnes x bullet ,nosler has reloading data in their older manuals ,great bullet ,pm me if you need to , thks !
That's an excellent bullet that can take anything up to elk and some may say, black bear, as it is a very tough design with a small core up front and the rest of the base is solid. Comparable to the Trophy bonded bear claw, I think the Fail safe is better than the new trophy bonded tipped.
Hit bone with them and you won't have a problem.
I used them in my 300 mags, penetration, even after hitting LARGE bones was very impressive.
They were only discontinued after several lawsuits against Winchester due to accidental deaths.
Cheers.
