Gimmick or not the ftx bullet shoots way better than any other bullet I have tried lead or jacketed. My guide gun is very accurate with it.. Add in the better ballistics and it is a winner. And not to mention the price for the bullets is not that bad either.

I went to my local reloading shop and the guy told me he has been hearing a lot of bad things about the ftx not expanding and just zipping strait through the animal. He recommended Hornady 300gr JHP. I picked up a box of them cause they were $22 and will see how they shoot. if they wont group well ill go back to FTX.

sorry guys its 45-70 govt. I have about 100 Hornady cases and that bullet shoots like a laser for me and hammers deer so figured try and reload them.

I do and use IMR 4198 and get same point of aim and velocity as factory ammo- both FTX and GMX bullets

be safe
