Too spendy, and my handloads spec out better.

I remember this question just before they came out, the general consensus was that this is a gimmick, if you need an extra 25 yards then just use a 30-30.

It might be nice for someone in Indiana, the only pistol-caliber state.

Can't hurt the accuracy to streamline the bullet, so, why not try a box?

I don't even think it would get me an extra "useful" 25 yards over my 180gr...

IMO it's just too slow and light to knock a deer down at 100 - even out of a rifle.

Now, OTOH, if I had the bulet as a component, THEN maybe I could do somthing interesting with it.
