Have you found them in stock anywhere yet? A couple weeks ago they were in one of my January flyers, either Midsouth or MidwayUSA, but were not in stock at that time. They look very promising, and Hornady is also going to beef up the .400" (10 mm) 200 grain SST to these bullets some time this year. I will try them as soon as I can get ahold of some.

I just found my January MidwayUSA flyer, they are listed in there on page 25, under LEVERevolution Bullets. The .44 cal (.430") 265 grain bullet should be outstanding, and should hold up under a good stiff load.

Please let me know if you have found these in stock anywhere yet.

Remember... Four boxes keep us free: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.

Thanks, but I did get the lead out, last fall I was shooting the Barnes TMZ's! ;D

What caliber bullets did you order? .44's or .45's? They also have some .452's listed in 200 grain and 250 grain and some .458 325 grainers. I would also like to try out the .35 caliber (.358") 200 grainers in some MMP .45/.358 sabots if the petals would be long enough to contain the bullet. Need to do some more research first. ;)

Let us know how they shoot for you.

I got one of the 35cal 200's for the Maxi. One of the .452 in 250gr's for my hot loaded 45Colts and two of the 300gr 50's for the 500S&W. (Those are 50ct boxes so I got two)

 Should see them first part of next week, just in time for my Doctor to clear me to use stairs, so I can go down to my loading room!!
