Yeah I bet they are slammed with bread and butter contract orders
There may be a few others also.
The Raptor, I much regret to say... never really came my way till now. But it looks like one amazing bullet.
No love for the TBBC?
Oh, hands down my favorite Cape buffalo bullet. But Federal has been unfortunately listing it as “Out of Stock” in almost all calibers after the outbreak of the Chinese virus. It was this lack of availability of the Federal Premium Trophy Bonded Bear Claw which led me to try out the Barnes TSX (which is readily available in ,375 Holland & Holland Magnum caliber) out of compulsion and begin to admire it.
Yeah , I shoot a 375 ruger and hoard the brass , $80-120 per box of factory garbage
A-frames make almost everyone's list for favorite hunting bullets and yet you can't find them to reload anywhere. They are like unicorns. I moved on long ago to have repeatable recipes that I can load, shoot and replace with the same thing. Honestly, I should sell my remaining A-frames and replace them with bullets that are actually in the supply chain.
I understand the thinking but I wouldn’t sell them. For hunting accuracy and hunting ranges, they should hit reasonably close to the same point of impact as other lead core bullets at the same velocity. Also as of now, no other bullet manufacturer in that category has really proven consistent supply. North Fork looks promising but time will tell.
True they are just sitting there quietly…like t-bills.
