I had an email alert on record with Midway for them. Last night, after I went to bed, I finally got an email that they were in stock, in limited supply. By this morning, when I read the email, they were all gone. So a lot of folks who read their emails more frequently than me, must have been waiting as well. The good news is the stream may be starting to flow. IMHO, for North American whitetails, the 200 XPB is the best bullet for the 450b.

Here's a link to some articles I've written on them. Start out with the Water Shot one, then read actual load recipes and results in the others.

At half the cost of Barnes 200gr XPB, the C.O.P. ($9.29/box of 20) bullets may be a good choice as well, so keep an eye out for them.
