    My understanding is that it is only available for reloading as far as the .277 / 6.8 specific 85 grainer.

    +1 everything I have seen so far has been for reloading.
    Next time you go to the range make some money. Just catch or retrieve your 6.8 brass and sell it.

    There are custom ammo loaders for those who don't roll their own. No commercially loaded ammo yet.

    I remember seeing somthing about ATF talking to Barnes, and a concern over body armor piercing. Whats the latest? Are the TSX bullets going to made illegal? Nice to see someone is on top of things giving us alternatives.

    I'm sure you can. But there are cheaper alternatives for deer and hogs that are quite effective. It seems these rounds are a bit over-kill for deer IMHO. In saying that, I see where these rounds do have a purpose, ie: home defense and dangerous game hunting.

    HTR: Great write up! Look forward to seeing the results on some hogs.

    If they perform as advertised they would be a great candidate for hogzilla and still get a drt. Only time will tell, I have seen a hogzilla on my grounds and if the opportunity arises this pill might be the ticket.
