Product Overview
The Fort Scott Munitions .260 Remington launches a 123-grain TUI bullet at 2950 feet per second, producing 2376 foot-pounds of energy. TUI stands for Tumble Upon Impact, describing Fort Scott's solid copper bullet design that relies on controlled tumbling rather than traditional mushroom expansion. The 0.38 G1 ballistic coefficient reflects the design priorities of terminal performance over aerodynamic optimization.
Unlike conventional expanding bullets, the TUI maintains its original shape throughout penetration. The bullet's center of gravity and angle of attack are engineered to initiate a predictable tumble once it strikes tissue. This tumbling action creates a wound channel through rotation rather than frontal area expansion. The solid copper construction means no lead exposure and 100% weight retention regardless of impact velocity or material encountered.
Hunters intrigued by unconventional terminal ballistics may find the TUI offers different results than standard expanding bullets. The tumbling mechanism can create substantial tissue damage while maintaining deep penetration through heavy bone. The lead-free construction satisfies California requirements and appeals to hunters concerned about meat contamination. This load represents an alternative approach for those willing to experiment with non-traditional bullet performance.
- Solid copper construction eliminates lead exposure and provides 100% weight retention
- Tumbling mechanism does not depend on impact velocity like conventional expansion—performs consistently at all ranges
- High 2950 fps velocity creates flat trajectory at hunting distances
- Lead-free design complies with California and other jurisdictions restricting lead ammunition
- The 0.38 BC is among the lowest available, resulting in significant wind drift past 300 yards
- Tumbling terminal performance is less proven than traditional expanding bullet designs
- Unconventional wounding mechanism may not produce the blood trails hunters expect from expanding bullets
- Limited track record compared to established designs like Barnes TTSX or Nosler E-Tip
