Fury .40 cal 310gr Bullet

[Dave W]

Gave Dennis at Fury Bullets a call and asked about a 40 cal bullet, very knowledgeable guy, after chatting awhile he said he could produce what I was looking for. He had the bullets at my door in less than a week IIRC.
Side by side with a 310gr CEB.


Took them to the range and ran two timers, Magnetospeed V-3 at the muzzle and my Caldwell at 100yds after I had shot a group to establish a differential between the two timers.
Magnetospeed V-3-2722-2740-2720-2730, average of 2728fps.
Caldwell-2523-2520-2520-2533, after the deduction for differential, average of 2482fps.

JBM calculator says .379BC.

The initial groups were around 1 MOA, today I switched the die setting to a diameter similar to what I use on the 200 SSTs, which is a looser fit. Shot two different charge weights of R-16.
85gr


84gr

Speed should be in the mid 2700sbut didn't time them today.

Dennis wasn't pleased with nose so he ordered a new die, future orders will look like this.


Very good guy to deal with and takes pride in his product. Oh and it looks like they will be accurate also!!! Thanks, Dennis!!!

Sure is nice to have more options! Are these .401” OD so they fit the .400”/ .408” barrels Smooth Formed & the .392”. / .400” Full Form sized?

I got some of his 250 gr 40 cal and had him knurl them. In a cva scout v2 with 60 gr of I4198 in a hlbs they shot at a inch at 100 yds for me. I think these bullet were 36 bucks for fifty. The reports of on game performance are excellent. My load above was 2430 fps.

We're you shooting the star tips or the lead tips?

[buckstuds]

Bonded lead tips.

[Dave W]

Shot the 84gr load again.


And 83gr.

[rambler]

mighty fine

[AJ]

Those look very sweet! I will definitely have to order some of those. I believe they will make a great antelope/deer/elk load.

[jims]

Excellent.

Anyone attempted to shoot this bullet sabotted out of a 45 ?
