They're flex tip bullets for tubular magazine.  Improved BC or improved looks depending on the caliber.

Pity the don't make a .308 in 110 grain. Would be great for foxes out of my winchester 64 (1932).

Yes, reloaders have been wanting them since the LE ammo first came out.

I got my eye on a good look'n used Marlin 336 in 35 Rem that I might need to buy and them get some 200 grainers to reload! 8)  Since it don't look like there will be a 35 Rem coming out for the Handi anytime soon. -g

I'm still waiting for mine, called Misouth yesterday and they said anyday now.  Had mine on backorder since the 15 of this month and figured it would be soon.  CS said she wasn't sure if any had been received and shipped out yet, but didn't think so.  Where you guys that got them order from?

 That OTHER place starting with the "M" word...  ::)  ;D ::)  ;D ::) (Sorry Bill, Jerry did ask!!)

 As you said, Midsouth should be getting them anytime now. For what its worth, my buddie was up @ Cabela's Sunday and they had a spot for them on the shelve, but it was empty. Unsure if they sold out or where still awaiting the merchandise.
 I ordered mine last Thursday & Friday I think and got the first order yesterday. I have had excellent/fast service with Midway. Midsouth is usually a bit cheaper, also with excellent service and good shipping. But the better service and same day shipping always wins me over. I'm impatient, so many times I have more money than patience.  ::) :( ;) (We are only talking a couple bucks difference here)
