SharpsNitro:

What have you killed with that Remington 300? How did it turn out? I'm curious, because it performs radically differently in my test media when started at 1500 fps {like the old .45-70 high speed load} and even at 1800. Past that and it really seems to let go. What velocities were you using it at?

As for the TSX, PM sent.

A question on that one; what is the lowest velocity recommended for it? The copper-solid-type bullets usually seem to require fairly high low-end impact speeds for reliable expansion.

This latter bit is timely, as that seems to be the dodge applied by Woodleigh with their Hydrostatic as posted by Gryphon; to a degree, the impact speed might be less important w/ the Hydro's if the bullet is designed to perform without expansion, that is merely by shape. Personally, I think Woodleigh is on to something, as one of the main criticisms of homogenous bullets is that they need high impact speeds to cause adequate expansion.

For high performance .45-70 loads, the Hydrostatic might be a real winner. For that matter, all of the "old timey" rounds like the .30-30 and .35 Remington might benefit by such bullets, too.

Here is Gryphon's post: http://forums.nitroexpress.com/showflat....true#Post143004
