I got these at a big discount from Midway a while back. I bought them primarily for practice but thought someone might know what they are. The box does not say.   Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures -- I need a separate light with a diffuser I suppose. You can click the pictures for larger versions. Woodleighs? Brand X? Generic FMJs? I picked up my .458 yesterday and it got me to wondering what these are. ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | ||

I could not find the p45BC load info on the federal site. they aren't sledhammers, as those are a stepped bullet. might be worth a call to them in the AM jeffe opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Words aren't Murder - Political assassination is MURDER Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

Thanks Jeffe. I thought they were a discontinued item, and knew they were not the Sledges. Hopefully they will clear it up. I will look at the MidSouth as well. I do have five boxes of the mystery Fed on hand. ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||

My bet is that they are Woodleighs. I have a box or two as well and my reloaded Woodleighs look exactly the same. JPK  Free 500grains | |||

They look like Woodleighs to me, too. Charles, try a magnet on them. If it sticks, then dollars to doughnuts they're steel jacketed Woodleighs. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Thanks -- I did the magnet test earlier this evening and it sticks. ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||

Charles If the cannalure is smooth they ncould be Woodleigh's, if it is knurled they could be old style Hornadys. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

The BC suffix may indicate Bear Claw, before they added TB for Trophy Bonded? _________________________________ AR, where the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history become the nattering nabobs of negativisim. | |||

You are correct. Sorry Jeffe -- I did not notice that you were seeing B not 8 earlier. ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||

Not only that, but if it were a Trophy Bonded Solid it would be a Sledgehammer and not a Bear Claw. I need new glasses anyway. _________________________________ AR, where the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history become the nattering nabobs of negativisim. | |||

They are Woodleighs. For some reason they didn't mark the boxes, for awhile anyway. I guess they didn't think hunters thought it would make any difference.

Not your fault -- the focus was fuzzy. I grabbed the box out of the closet to double check! ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||

And yet you would think that would be a positive selling point. Now -- do I use them up for practice or save them for the real thing... ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||

The real thing. You might want to shoot over the chrony 3 or 4 to satisfy my curiosity about MV. If you use them for the real thing you'll have to file your sights for them anyway. _________________________________ AR, where the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history become the nattering nabobs of negativisim. | |||
