Products: New Hollow Points
Our New Hollow Points are Going through process development with a handfull of OEM customers, our target date for release will be late summer to early fall.
We'll be offering the hollow points initially in .45, .40 and 9mm and will get it into the full line by the end of the year. At this time we are not taking orders but as soon as we have an update it will be posted on the website.
The goal is to replace all of our current Hollow Point bullets with our new design starting with the most popular calibers. Our customer service reps won't have any additional information on the new HP's, stay tuned to the website for updates.
Sorry If the delay is caused by further product testing as indicated by others, I am all for it. It is better to push back the product release date and have things worked out. Also having quantities/inventories available by the retail vendors will be key as I anticipate the initial interest/demand for these bullets may be very high and that demand will probably be sustained if the bullet performances meet expectations.GW Staar said:BDS, I thought you were delivering the long awaited post. Sigh.
The fact that all current HP bullets will be replaced by the new "premium" HP bullets is a promising sign. Besides, Berry's MFG just needs to price their new HP bullets marginally lower than Speer Gold Dot to make them attractive.longdayjake said:The only thing that would make it superior is if it was more cost effective.
That's my consensus too and look forward to side-by-side comparisons/range tests when the new bullets come out. Years ago (actually decades ago), I thought Federal's Hydra-Shok bullets were as good as they were going to get. Now I use Speer Gold Dot, Remington Golden Saber and Winchester Ranger-T (Black Talon) for SD/HD. So you never know and time will tell.You can't really beat a gold dot.
250 ct sample packs of our new hollow points, first lot from the machine so we are calling them "Beta" hollow points. Look and shoot great but we have a limited supply.
I don't see the point.
Unless you want to ignore the Internet Legal Beagles and load your own gun fighting ammo, the expansiveness of a 185 gr .45 HP does not seem a big selling point.
