Ferrobull NTX. 100 grain target bullet
#1
Ordered a box of 100, as they where cheap (1.5 sek each, for comparison thats half the price of cheap S&B FMJ or 1/3'rd the price of Lapua Scenar in sweden).
Bullets are copper plated steel. I think they are stupidly long, but the ogive (if you can call it that) is similar to the Expanding (hunting bullet), so COAL is same before hitting lands.

Measurements:
Lenght: 32.66mm
Diam: 6.68mm
Boattail lenght: 3.5mm
Boattail end diam: 6.01mm
Veight: 100 grain

Image of bullet seated to 57.00mm, also comparision to the expander:

Loaded 5 x 3 groups with Vihtavori N133.

Recorded weights and velocities below. I have the targets in the car, but the 25.5 charge gave me a 0.5" group. Probably as good as I can manage in the Howa Houge stock.
By comparison its as good as the Scenar 123 i usualy shoot, or close to.

They also have a Concave bullet. Similar design, but the point is.. well concave. I have not shot them, but the seller said they perform even better then the Convex in this post.
as there is no load data anywhere i had to improvise so i had to start somewhere.
