Thanks, mopar! I’ve been wondering about that ammo. Solid penetration and good expansion, but retained weight less than I was hoping for. Probably better than just running steel cased fmj by a long shot.

I have to be honest, I was impressed by it and I went in to it with very very low expectations. I like it so much that for the price (I paid 10.99 per 20rds at PSA) I may buy a good chunk more to run, as that is cheaper than you can generally buy steel cased Fmj locally. Judging from the performance, I believe the projectile to likely be either a Nosler Varmageddon, or a Hornady Vmax.
