The best I could get from them was 3/4" at 100yds. I used them last Spring on groundhogs & liked the way they performed enough that I will use them on coyotes since my shots are under 100yds. The chrony is broke so I have no idea what the fps is on them. I just know I liked the way they performed which is more important.

Hello, I'm new to the forum but have loaded that bullet.
The oal of the bullet varied quite a bit due to the lead tip,but performed good on paper. My best 3 shot group was .333 at 100 yards, with 24 gr of Accurate 2520. Ended up loading 25.5 gr with 3 shot group at .381.
Don't have a crony but i think it's around 3350 fps.
