really don't think we should sell. It is the Ft. Scott Munitions in 45-70. The Ft. Scott's claim to fame is that their ammo Tumbles Upon Impact or TUI. I told her hunters want a bullet to go deep into vitals and break shoulder bones on the way in. A tumble upon impact is just the opposite. Once that bullet starts to tumble it loses all energy and stops penetrating. Apparently her distributor sold her this ammo swearing that it's very popular with the hunters. I heartily disagree.Any thoughts?

How do they ensure it tumbles? Seems like any physical attribute that would force tumbling would interfere with aerodynamics; which is not what I would embrace as a hunter. Another solution without a problem at first blush.

It has to be made a certain way to tumble. With length limitations of the caliber it is curious. Usually a long bullet with a light front end will tumble on impact.

It is a 300 grain solid FMJ. Nothing special that
