It's just a single line entry, but here's the listing: http://www.barnesbullets.com/products/coming-in-2008/new-triple-shock/ I really hesitate to open the rate-of-twist can of worms, but I wonder whether this will stabilize and expand at 2100 fps in a 1:10 barrel.

647 grains! Did I read that right? I wonder how long they are. I bet they would work wonders on buffalo. ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||

I bet that is a 50 BMG bullet with a long ogive. | |||

It's certainly the .50 BMG standard weight, so one would assume that it's primarily designed for use in the .50 BMG. Nevertheless, I was curious as to whether the bullet might be useful in some of the other .510 caliber cartridges. I'm sure we'll find out in due time. analog_peninsula ----------------------- It takes character to withstand the rigors of indolence. | |||

It will certainly work in the 500A2 single-shot-loaded, or 500 Jeffery if throated properly, etc. If it is a hollowpoint TSX, it has got to be a hunting bullet primarily intended for 50BMG stunt shooters. Might be a decent target bullet too, but no earthshaker for 1000-yard competition. Nice to have another 500 Mbogo projectile. | |||

Let's see. I am setting here with a P-17 (by Winchester), and Barnes is doing this bullet. Hmmmmmm the .500 AR is starting to look good!! ****************************** There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor polite, nor popular -- but one must ask, "Is it right?"

I want a 450 gr .475 semi spitz4er (schuler nose) and a 500 gr .510 of the same style that would take AT LEAST .10 off the length 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?
