Would love to try this bullet in my ruger 77/357 for subsonic shooting. Any one has few bullets sitting around that they can sell me a sample lot to try before I buy a mold and find out my rifle doesn't like those?
Update:
Recieved bullets from a kind member on here, thank you sir.
Loaded 20 of them or so to try out tomorrow.

Figured out quick that if I use a gascheck, it would bulge the cases to where brass won't go in the chamber. So that soaked up five rounds.

Loaded the rest with out checks but still sized and lubed.
All same except for powder charge. 3.2 3.5 and 3.7 gr of titegroup. Want to start out light, this is kind of an uncharted territory for me here.

My nose punch is obviously wrong, but If all goes well I'll be ordering NOE mold and a punch to go with it.

Update:
Well the range trip was a success. Bullet is stable out of my set up, but it has to be driven 850fps or so.
This is at 25 yards, looks like the middle hole is oblong, bullet might have been yawing. This was 3.2 gr of titegroup, right at 745fps.

Now for 50 yard targets
Picture for 3.2 gr charge was corrupted. Muzzle velocity was 745fps, the most accurate load, all 5 were touching, but few holes where oblong.
This is 3.5 gr, MV of 765fps. Too hot of a load, sticky extraction.

And 3.7gr, MV 812 fps. Too hot of a load, sticky extraction and some primers where flattened.
