RIP.395 Bullets From GSC Arrived
Thanks to Gerard of GSC Bullets.
They are here, 50 each of HV, SP and FN.
The HV's need to be tested to see if they open up in water at 1500, 2000, and 2500 fps. These being the prototypes for the expanding bullets, they should be good to go if there are no surprises in the "Iron Water Buffalo." The HV's must be the trickiest and most "technical" due to the hollow point nose engineering that Gerard does.
The FN and SP are no doubt perfected as they are, due to Gerard's expertise and the simplicity of their non-expanding terminal requirements.
I'll get some pics of these and the S&H brass solids, things of beauty all, and then divvy them up with prof242, who should be getting ready to shoot some soon in the .395 Ruger Max.
I'll load some .395 Tatanka and .505 Gibbs for the weekend activities coming up.

RIPMax,
We'll gitterdun.
So far things are happening as planned, just taking their own sweet time about it, eh?
I have problems getting things done at the drop of a hat also, but will keep chipping away at it.
