Lightbulb FTX Bullets two calibers!

Well, on my recent business trip, I found Fin, Feathers and Fur in Ashland, Ohio.

I can't post all that I got there as one of the items is going to end up as a Christmas present for my son in law!

But it was just so hard to get out of there with just that!

I took two boxes of bullets with me too.

Here they are:


The picture on the box was a little misleading on the 45 caliber one though. I thought it had crimp grooves, it doesn't!

That's OK, it will get loaded in the 45Colt anyway! If I empty out some of my 45AR brass, I may just put a few of these in them too! For sure they are going to end up in the 45Colt brass!

Probably with Ruger Only or Linebaugh loads for the Ruger 45 Convertible and the Puma rifle. They both may choke though. They ain't ever ate nuttin' but lead to this point!

The 38 caliber ones are going to get a healthy load of Lil' Gun and be shot out of the wife's Marlin 1894 CS!

The 140gr bullet is a tad light for my liking but they will be just about right for the wifey!

I think I can feel another ram/hog hunt coming on! That light bullet will be screaming out of that carbine! I have a 158gr XTP load that is right at the bottom of 35 Remington ballistics. This one should be just a tad bit faster. Hopefully it won't just splatter on the skin!

The 45 caliber ones are 250gr and should be just fine for hogs. It will be interesting that's for sure!

Wish I had some hunting ground available around here. I would LOVE to take a Northern Indiana whitetail with these babies!

At any rate, be looking for some range/hunting reports soon!

Very cool. I dont reload but I do have some of the 357 Leverevolution ammo (same tip). You will NOT be disappointed. How does she like that carbine? I have been toying with getting the same one.

She really likes it. It shoots cast well too. Something their 44 caliber brothers don't do well at high velocity.

You will never be sorry you bought one, I will tell you that!
