First somebody should put spellcheck in here..


OK anyone use them.. was thinkin of buying some for my 35Rem , its a 336

marlin . I really like this rifle but some of the cut-blocks seem to be getting

larger might be good to have a few xtra yds untill my eyes go of course.

I hope to here somethin they are pricey and I dont like to waste my $$

I have loaded the 45 calibre FTX in my 45-70 where they were quite accurate. If sighted in 3" high at 100 yards they are only 5-6 inches low at 200. I was playing around on the 300 yard gong and was able to ring it more often than not by holding 30 or so inches over.


I bought some of the 160 grain FTX last summer to try in a 30-30 but have yet to get out to the range with them.


I did find the 325 grain 45 calibre bullets to be very soft when compared to the 350 gr Hornady SP. I shot a beef last winter with one from about 20 feet and found that the bullet only penetrated about 3 or 4 inches into the skull with nothing but bits and pieces of lead and jacket left of the bullet. While this may be perfect for long-distance shots on deer I would not use them on large bears or moose.
