I bought the blemished rounds which looked fine and shot very well. Used 16 in barrel with tight group at 100 yds. I haven’t tried longer range because of a lack of ballistic data and ammo is too expensive for trial and error. Very powerful.

Built out a REM 700 action with the 16” Faxon barrel and a pistol chassis/folding stock as a compact woods gun for back east. I’m able to get ~1” groups at 100 yards with the 210 Grain TSX, which I’m happy with for a new gun and factory ammo. I was able to test this setup out on a big doe this fall; blew through her at 200 yards and she basically dropped. Definitely solid terminal performance, however I will say after looking at the wound cavity it seemed that the bullet took a bit before it really started expanding, with barely a hole or signs of impact on the entrance side. Would be interested to see this with a TTSX or one of the Hammer bullets in the same weight range. Overall great quality and solid performance.

Rounds were excellent. No misfire or failure to fire.
