Federal has came out with a new all copper 270 grain MZ bullet. Other companies have done the same previously, but this one is different.
It doesn't use a sabot. Its not like the power belt either. It uses what looks like a polymer gas check on the base, and a sleeve to only runs from the gas check to the cannelure. Quite different looking from the other Mz rounds.
Polymer tip and 6 petal expansion. The bullet itself is 1.595" long, and there is some external skiving that probably enables the petals to expand in the direction they want them to.

Since it isn't a sabot round, is it legal in Co., where that isn't allowed?

There are several all copper bullets coming out. Probably because of the Californika restrictions, or maybe they have discovered how badass the Barnes bullets are on game?

Designed to run in the 2 pellet or equivalent Mz rifles. Wonder how it will hold up to a 2400+fps smokeless gun?
