Huh?! Never saw any like that before. I'd reach out to him, send him a pic, and ask about it. Let us know what he says.

He'll say 2000 fps to be safe. They seem to work fine less than that. See link. (1830 fps)
McGuire ballistics review
I had the pleasure to shoot these bullets last hunting season out of my 30 SM. I used the 195 with a .700 g1, which i did use during hunting season. Looks close to a .350 G7. Still need to go shoot that to confirm. What separates this mono from others is the tip. It looks like a solid copper...

After I confirmed the g7 later at .315, the impact velocity was around 1750.

I guess something that nobody clarified here is that the single feed ones have weaker tips for opening at a lower velocity (longer distances)…but they are shaped identically and shoot the same as the mag feed ones.
It's not like cutting edge "single feed" which are too long for magazines.
These single feed ones will fit the mag box just fine but will deform under recoil in the magazine

Ya, there's literally nothing on their website to delineate it. You'd have to watch the one you tube video they have and be paying attention the 5 seconds he talks about it.
They really need a page that goes into all the details and why their bullets are better, or at least what they're trying to do.
My guess is they don't actually want to sell that many of them.

I thought about using these, but not enough data to make me confident enough to send one into an elk. Trying out the Hammer HHT this year and also Cayugas. These still have my interest though.
The HHT is the most terminally reliable of them all IMO. Good projo for sure.

Hopefully we put one through an elk this weekend.
I'm friends with Sam, stand up guy and very passionate bullet maker, hunter and guide. He's become aware of the packaging issues and blackened bullets. He's says to please contact him ASAP and he will make it right.

I spoke to him today. Seems like a great guy. I'm not sending anything back, I'll just shoot 'em. It's cosmetic stuff that doesn't affect anything and it sounds like they've figured it out moving forward. I'm pretty excited about these bullets and plans to try some 7mm ones tomorrow
