Federal BOR lock 350 gr kead bullets.

[txhunter58]

These bullets seem to be getting good reports, both in accuracy and in the field performance. The lead ones, not copper. But they are hard to find. This place has “factory seconds” that is reported to have some loose tips. For the price, I thought they were worth the risk to try. One guy said he has ordered more than 20 packs of them and just superglues the loose ones. He says they shoot great. I ordered some

Great price! Thanks for sharing. I grabbed a few to try as well. I’ve never shot the lead version but the coppers shoot and perform very well.

They shoot great. My buddy shot a pronghorn with one a few years ago at 150ish. Devastating and complete penetration with a big exit ( not a big deal on pronghorn I know ). Check the tips on them and glue them. GW in Idaho said they are legal if you remove the tip also.

Thanks for sharing! I picked some up to try.

Are these legal in CO? It’s getting to be where you have to have a different gun/sight/powder/projectile for every western state lol…

Yes these and the 270 grain copper version are legal in CO.

 

[Horniac]

Yes these and the 270 grain copper version are legal in CO.

Thanks. CO regs (full) and ID (partial) below. So no issue with the polymer tip that I can see in CO.

Non-lead polymer tip is the reason they are illegal in ID since it makes them not “wholly of lead or lead alloy”? Has anyone tried shooting them without the polymer tip?

Thanks,

IDAHO

Loaded with a patched round ball or conical non-jacketed projectile comprised wholly of lead or lead alloy.

No Issue in CO with the tip. CO you can use the copper ones also. It is just ID lead no tips. Removal just kills the BC some but does not effect accuracy. Not much difference to 100 have not shot them past that without the tip, it’s just the tip....

i have used these for a few years (at txhunter's recommendation, i think! thanks!) they shoot great at the range and perform very well on deer at about 45 and 17 yards! have not had to shoot them very far at a deer yet. bought several packs of 15 a couple years ago, have not looked for them in a couple.

Never heard of Grice Gun Shop before this thread but they are legit. Got (8) packs of them delivered in quick order. Haven’t had a chance to shoot them yet but looking forward to having another good bullet option to stuff down the smokepole!
