Thanks, Harrison, and, Tim.

Hey Guest, it looks like you haven't made your first post yet. Until you make an introduction thread, the rest of the site is locked to posting. Why not take a few minutes to say hi!
GS custom bullets...
As some of you know the GS 80 grain HV bullets got 3400 FPS in the the test Tim and C and HTR did... and C has gotten the 105's (BC .505) up to 3000 FPS but those cant be loaded to mag length... well I emailed them about the 80's just to have something else in the bullet pile.. the HV's are a hollow point and according to the dealer will expand down to 1500-1600 FPS... HTR and Tim said they penetrated a whole hog length wise with those bullets.... thats pretty impressive
Either way while I was talking to them they said they would have two new bullets to offer in the .277 category, both will be 99 grains one will be the HV which has the hollow point and will expand on game again down to that 15-1600 FPS range, its BC info is as follows :
Part number: 270099HV246
m/s - fps - BC 884 2900 0.313
m/s - fps - BC 686 2250 0.313
m/s - fps - BC 488 1600 0.312
the second is a SP which is a VLD type match bullet for comps and such here is the info on that:
Part number:270099SP217
m/s - fps - BC 884 2900 0.402
m/s - fps - BC 625 2050 0.379
m/s - fps - BC 366 1200 0.277
Those last two bullets wont be offered for a few more months but I thought you guys would be interested in this info.
Hopefully we can get more companies to build 95-105 grain bullets (like the accubonds and Vmax's or Amax's) for the 6.8
here is the website for the North American importer.. http://www.gsgroup.co.za/NLTCorderhv.html

Generally I am not one to question ones taste. However in this instance you are CRAAZY! =PStrawdawg said:Thanks, Harrison, and, Tim.

I would be up for a group hunt.
These bullets are very cool and I cant wait to see what other bullets will grow from our experiences with these.

Some updates.
We have reorganised the technical data on our website to make it easier to access.
The start point is from Technical Data on the links bar of the main (eventually all) pages of our site.
http://www.gsgroup.co.za/techdata.html
Choose the area that you want to visit, for example HV Hunting Bullets Tech Data
http://www.gsgroup.co.za/hvtech.html
Then click on the bullet number for full specs on a particular bullet. For example 277099HV246
http://www.gsgroup.co.za/270099HV246.html
The path to Load Data is similar. Currently, for the 6.8, there is only data for the 80gr HV but the 99gr bullets will be up in a week to ten days, if all goes smoothly.

Thanks for the update, and I know I am looking forward to my bullet order 
Gerard,
Great to see you stopped by. I was hoping you would take me up on the invitation. You did a great job on these bullet designs/. They really have stirred things up here with their perf. Especially the SP. We just now need to get some of these new ones in our hands so we can see how hard we can push them. The 80 HV are my main hunting bullet since getting them. This will change once the 99HV get here I expect. Again I really appreciate your willingness to work with us and take on this project for designing and producing these bullets and not requirng even a min order. I know there are some very good size orders heading for your Alaska distrutor for a number or members here.

Ok I just orderd a couple boxes of the SP 99gr bullets to experiment with. Any loads worked up yet? Particularly with H322 or H335?
thanks.
thanks.
No one has received them yet
Just out of curiosity were this bullets designed for hunting or all purpose?
The SP is a target bullet, the HV is a solid copper hollow point hunting bullet that acts like a TSX.
H have you sent northern lights an email? I was thinking about it but I didnt want to bother them.....
