Love the article! And, the photo of the expanded slug comparisons is jaw-dropping....wow. I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of Remmy's Hog Hammer in 450b to see what it can do. 2175fps is not bad, but I'm sure we can explore bumping that up a bit...

I'll have to look at my notes tomorrow, but I think Hoot and I exceeded those speeds by quite a bit..Hoot??

Yes, exceeded with a 20" barrel, but I wouldn't rate 100fps faster as quite a bit. Then again, I only have one upper at my disposal.

I just want to add that I am proud as a rutting buck to be a part of this group. While I have not tested the above described bullets personally, it's been a real experience watching you guys.

Those bullets produces one of the most accurate loads yet to date from my rifle. Thanks to Hoot for the starting recipe!

The 200 grain XPBs are really good, too...

Yes they are and the only real difference between the 200 vs the 275 are in that the 275's are longer in the back-end. The front ends from the first cannellure forward are samey-samey..

Aren't the XPB's all copper as well? this would finally give the condor corridor hunters a lead free option if so...

Yes, they're all copper and as an added bonus, you don't have to worry about spitting out shards of lead when you're enjoying your venison. The XPB form factor is pretty aerodynamic for a fat bullet, which is icing on the cake.

I believe The Hootser has posted lots of good info on loads for the Barnes XPB 200gr, n'est-ce pas?
