TOTAL FAIL

Bought these bullets with high hopes that were soon crushed on multiple levels.
The color was a dirty gray, no biggie but still mostly yuck.
The crimp grove is very shallow and a roll crimp will shave lead, even a very light one with the one step seat and crimp. Needs to be wider and deeper. But I can deal with those things but not the following.
I then seated 6 bullets with -no crimp- into clean properly sized, used 44 special cases (RCBS DIES). I then pulled these bullets with a impact puller. All of the lube on the driving bands and any surface that touched the brass cases was wiped clean of any of this HIGH TEC lube. Just shinny lead remained. I then wiped the bullets noses with acetone and the "color" started coming off. The Lube wont even survive the seating process and is gone before the bullet ever touches your gun. Do NOT buy these bullets is my recommendation.
