Hey, our next Maker order is being placed imminently.
We'll be bringing in a wider range this time around, to cover as many of the common cartridges as we can.
If you think you'd like to give them a try, especially if it's an unusual cal or weight you'd be after, txt/WhatsApp 0221114260 with the details and I'll make sure they get added.
The full range can be found here.
Cheers,
Ammo Direct
Primo service.

There's two versions... One for Blackout twists and velocities. And then a "high velocity" one for 308's etc...
There's also an 85gr T-Rex for Blackouts... But I'll donate some to whoever is willing to try and get them to 4000fps in a WM/WSM/PRC and film the results on a hare or wallaby.
Some 120gn TRex to try in 708 bush pig would be handy.
Are the BCs listed g1 or g7?
Specifically asking about the 6mm 85gr.
G1
Assume G1. And also assume that they are approximate (like Targex for example), as I can't imagine Maker have a means of testing that's as sophisticated as what the likes of Hornady or Berger are able to do. They might put hundreds down over a 1000yd range with multiple radar chronos to track the bullet throughout its flight to come up with precise G7 BC values.
I used .300 for the 62 grn and it seems to line up ok.Quote:

Excuse me. Inside 400 yards is not short range. Inside 100 is. My eyes can attest to this.Quote:

The idea with projos like the TTSX is that the polymer tip improves the BC a smidge and initiates expansion a bit more rapidly on impact. I'm sure that would hold true for the Makers too, though the fella at Maker reckons it doesn't make a particularly meaningful difference at the ranges that most of us will be (should be?) hunting out to. But it's what people want these days so why argue...
Because copper bullets are longer than equivalent weight/shape lead jacketed bullets, I did find in 223 that if you need to make rounds that fit into something like a PMAG for a Ruger Ranch (so <2.260" COL), that the tip on the 62gr T-REX forces you to seat it deeper into the case than you'd really like to and puts the ogive very close to the case mouth. The ogive on the non-tipped 62gr REX hangs out a bit further and allows for a little more flexibility with seating depth and room for powder behind it. Not going to be an issue with a 110gr bullet in a 308 though with at least 2.860" to play with.
Send me a PM or message me on that number. Cheers.
I would say bugger all.Quote:

All the deer I have shot or seen shot with them have expired more or less on the spot.
I have used them in my 16 inch 308 but yet to recover a bullet
Couldn't reccomend them enough for "normal hunting ranges"
Want to try the 110gn ones now in my 300WSM
Hi Guys
