Good results today with this particular brand of full copper plated (FCP) bullet. Plate thickness is 0.008".

Loaded at a muzzle speed of 1350 fps. Got my Nikon 3-9x scope calibrated for this load using the Spot On app, 200 yard shots and beyond no problem. Low cost target shooting load.

Cam Pro bullets. 30 cents per bullet. Good product.

Ok, thanks. I am going to get some.
They are in Canada; can we get them in the US?

Just wondering why load them to such low velocities when shooting them out of a No.1

Should be available state side. For hunting I load 300gr TSX at 2600 fps. Among other bullets at various muzzle speeds. The 405gr FCP at standard muzzle speed is just a target shooting load. Blue Dot works not too bad. Next going to see how these shoot from my .45-70 Marlin.

Should be but I can't find any distributor for them. I emailed the company and am waiting for a response.

Results today with the 405gr FCP from my Marlin. Not bad. Probably not the best powder charge or powder choice for this rifle. More work required to optimize.

Ok, I got no response from the company; are they still in business? Did you buy yours in Canada?

Ok, Just received a response from CamPro; here it is;
Hello,
For the moment it's impossible for us to sell in the US.
We work on different possibility, we expect to be available in US before the end of the year.
Best regards,
Chloe Patoine-Danylo, B.A.A

So, there are none in the US to be had.
