Product Overview
Fort Scott loads this 300gr solid copper spun bullet to 1763 fps for 2071 ft-lbs of energy. The TUI (Tumble Upon Impact) design creates a tumbling effect in soft tissue rather than expanding like a traditional hollow point. This produces a different wound mechanism that works on deer and hogs.
The solid copper construction means 100% weight retention and lead-free performance. States with lead ammunition restrictions can use this load for hunting. The tumbling action creates tissue damage without relying on expansion, which can be inconsistent at lower velocities. Hunters looking for something different from standard expanding bullets may find this design interesting.
- Solid copper retains 100% weight
- Lead-free for restricted hunting areas
- TUI tumbling creates tissue damage without expansion
- Works at varied velocities
- 2071 ft-lbs is modest for .45-70
- Tumbling mechanism less proven than expansion
- 1763 fps is slower than comparable loads
- Premium price for specialty design
- Low BC of .20 limits range
