Just an FYI. I contacted Federal to ask them about their new ammo and was informed that the Federal 450BM 300gr non-typical ammo began shipping last week & should reach the retail shelves soon.
At the moment I have some of their 300gr Power-shok, but their non-typical ammo is supposed to have a slightly higher BC.
Does anyone have any reports on how the 300gr Power-shok performs on game?

That sure looks like the Speer 300gr DeepCurl.

That's OK, as I'm sure it keeps the litigation department from having a conniption fit. Kicking them at 2200 really made my AR buck and snort. Brass expansion wasn't bad but I'm sure it was a lot more than 1900.
just sayin'...
