Have you not checked out the Lehigh Defense bullets? The 200gr ME bullet did really well.

The nose profile is very similar to the 90 gr XTP. Those expand well at 950 fps.. if it was 150 or 220 it would be as good as some big bucks subs.. but again.. it will not cycle in an AR dure to the large nose opening.

Then try Lehigh Defense's 175gr Controlled Fracturing from QR's other video.

So does that mean you'll have some to sell??
I'm interested if you want to part with some.

Talked to Gemtech. Pushed out the delivery BIG TIME. July is what they told me. Said that they lost a supplier for brass and working hard to find another supplier. Really dissappointing

Maybe the military bought up their existing inventory. Plausible?
