Looks good. Did those 115 UMCs yaw early?

[rsilvers]

There was no special terminal effect property to them. They are best for practice and general use but not best for hunting or home defense.

Not special as in not best, or not special as in works about like a 5.45/early yaw 7.62X39/etc. ???

From the looks of that UMC bullet it appears that it might be decent back up ammo if one keeps a mag or two of "the good stuff" handy for first choice use.

I think it would be a mean little bullet if it got sideways early.

I will be using it that way. I love the 115 grain UMC ammo.

I don't know how early it yaws.

Rsilvers,

Have you heard from Barnes or others if they will be producing a defensive/hunting bullet for sub-sonic velocities?

thanks for the info too.

Looks like the .300 is coming right along. If I remember correctly, last time I took a look at the gelatin testing that was available the .300 looked like a flop. Thanks for sharing.

[rsilvers]

It has controlled penetration - the goal is to limit it.

The more I see of this caliber/ammo's performance, the more I think about buying a 300BLK upper.

Thanks rsilvers, please continue to keep us updated.
