I had the opportunity to test theses bullets and i can tell you that they are the best bullet for the 50 cal. on the market today. The best thing about the bullet is that, it was designed to be a bore rider and is to be shot in a standard chamber. I do not make anything from this. i just want to tell you guys that they are awesome. I have shot just about every bullet out there and noting compares to theses bullets. They are not seating depth sensitive and the bore rider takes care of the runout issues that 50 BMG brass is famous for. i shot them with as much as .009 worth of runout and they still shot great. A hollow point design is soon to be released and from the copper that is used (which is special to theses bullets) i feel that we will finally have a match bullet that will expand on animals. The are CNC machined with Swiss style equipment. Once again they are awesome. In preliminary testing the 802 gr bullet had a BC of .950, which is right on par with the Amax. A 762 grain bullet is out but i have not had the time to test them yet. We feel that they will be just under the 802 in BC. A pic is under the news section of their web site

One more time for emphasis since this is also in the reloading section, on the Long Range Hunting Forum, etc.

I emailed them for more info and this is what they have so far:

We do not have firm BC numbers yet on either bullet but initial testing
showed the BC on the 802gr bullets to be .950. I would suspect the BC on the
762gr bullet to be around .900. When we put them out for sale the price will
be $87.37/25pcs for the 802gr and $81.16/25pcs for the 762gr. We are working
on a large order for these bullets and if/when it comes through, and we are
able to order a special diameter material which will allow much less waste,
the price will drop to $77.38/25 on the 802gr and $72.08/25 on the 762gr and
possibly a little less. There will be price breaks for over 500pcs.
They are expensive because of the copper and that is why we must make sure
they are perfect before we put them in production. We hope to have all the R
& D done within 2 weeks and schedule a production run shortly. I can keep
you in the loop if you would like me to and let you know when they are
available.

Our new 50BMG 802gr and 762gr bullets have been shooting really well. They are a bore rider bullet but should not be shot in a bore rider chamber due to the driving band being outside of the case. Initial testing shows the BC to be .950 and further testing is being done by several different people. If anyone is interested in the .510 bullets please call for availability since they are not on our web site just yet.
