    Default Frontier Spartan bullets

    These bullets are relatively easy to come across, they around the same price as other monolithics , but very rarely do I see them mentioned. Any feedback on them in 30 cal?

    These are 150 grain bullets fired from my 308 1/12 twist. Velocities were worked up to about 2200 fps into a stack of telephone books at 100 meters.
    Accuracy was ok. Expansion was ok but in my opinion, maybe an exit wound would be a bit small. Never tried them on an animal because of this. I believe they do have a loyal following though, Spartan were also very helpful with sending me load data as well.

    Not sure if a conclusion can be drawn from the telephone book test but animals are expensive.

    You need a bit of extra juice there to get the speed going. Monos are nearly ndestructible and they would do much better at say 2650fps.

    2200 fps out of a 308 is idling at best

    Yes gentlemen, correct. I was just giving the info I had.

    The full story is on page 9 of the general hunting discussion. Same title.

    I just used one on a sturdy blesbuck(with my 30-06), perfect heart shot, passed straight through with not too much meat wasted and the animal dropped in its tracks. Did not run 1m.
