These are the ones with lead in the front and a solid shank. Front blows up and back plows through.

I was thinking about ordering some of these but I have no experience with them. Are they good for 300 black hunting? Also will they do alright at 308 speeds? And what load data can be used? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

This is all I have. The design is similar to a Trophy Bonded Bear Claw although I don't think the front end is bonded. Best guess is it acts more like a Partition. Front part of the bullet is shrapnel on impact and the back is a solid copper shank that plows through for an exit. I have no idea about the minimum impact speed for reliable expansion but the jacket looks really thin so I'm thinking fairly low.

There is plenty of load data for 125-130 grain bullets out 30 calibers. I would just work up from the minimum recommendations. I plan on trying them in my FNAR.
