    I did a short lived test with the tipped version of these. I always start my work ups 20k off of the lands with everything. Starline brass, #41 primers and 8208 up to 29gr out of a proof research barrel. decided to stop there because I just couldnt get them to shoot better than 2" some were over 3" if I remember correctly. To date this is the only bullet that my barrel hates. Rarely will it shoot over an inch. I don't recall any velocitys or sd's I didn't log them. Sorry if this wasn't much use to you, I was just replying with my recent experience with them.

        I had the same intentions and bought 150. I still need to try these in my 12" barrel. I was just surprised because this 20" is such a tack driver with everything ive put through it. I'll try these again in the near future through the 12". Good luck to you, I hope they do well.

          I can't speak for the 95s but the 110s are my hunting bullet out of my 12" and they group under an inch with a couple different powders.

            Also try emailing or calling Paul and maker ammo. He's very responsive and has led me the right way on load data.

                I used 28.4g of 8208, oal 2.215, got 2312 fps velocity out of 12" with an 7 shot group @ 0.61 moa with the 110g


                28.2g shot 0.49 moa but i took the 25 fps gain for a hunting round.

                    Just posted in kill section for my deer. I also have killed a few hogs with it. Everything died and didn't run far at all. Nice exit holes. Super fast expansion. Im happy.

                        Ummm, Ironically Richochet and I ran a few tests in 2013 on my LFP units. He contacted Paul Maker - to convince him to make a 95 grn pill-Based upon my research on the lead frees'.


                        Paul called me while deer hunting out west, about my recent order placement,,,,, Back then- he said Oh1 Your' sneaky! Richoshay and I talked. My order came in 2 weeks after hunting season closed.

                        He tried to get it here in time.... Ironically,,, I have not loaded any,,,, GMX and T rex are about same bullet for length, wt. Again, PM me.
