Is it a certain knowledge that the edge tlr bullets will be made available as a reloading component? Also, if I may ask, what are the reasons you would prefer this projectile over the many excellent projectiles already on the market?

Federal released the Trophy Bonded Tipped a while back and I load the 165 in my 308 and the 180 in my 300 WSM and have had good experience with them. Federal stated when the TLR was announced that they would be releasing them to reloaders in the near future. The bullets are listed as componenets on Federals website and are listed at MidwayUSA as well.
As for why I want this one: As an evolution of the Trophy Bonded Bear Claw, Trophy Bonded Tipped, and now Edge TLR, I find the bullets design superior to others and they are very easy to work up loads for as well. I also think 155 grains is a great bullet weight for the 7mm cartridges and with a BC north of 600* it should be a great all around bullet that is tough enough to stay together at close ranges. In short, I just like it.
