Thanks for posting this. I have five hundred put back, but grabbed a few more.
Wish Hornady would make a run of the 60 grn XTPs.

I've got 7 boxes of them hoarded back. But, they make such few runs that I grab a few boxes every time they are available.
The Speer 75 grn work great if you HP them.

they work well for everything I use them in, in my 257 Special... but admit I've not tried drilling them out... would likely mushroom better at the reduced 257 Special revolver velocities
whats that make... a 67-68 grain hollow point???

I shoot them as are in my Marlin 1894 CLASSIC. But, HP them for my Reeder 255 Banshee @ 1600 fps.
Usually 69-70 grns. According to how deep you drill them.

I wonder how many / how long they'll last at Midway, & if the other retailers have gotten a bunch, from this last run...
& if 2 DOGS will get some???

I think they'd work better in the Jackrabbit than the lighter bullets.

for cast in my 257 Special... I run the 85 grain, & they seem to work good... I'd think the 75 Hot Core would work great in Jackrabbit...

I grabbed 4 boxes when you posted. Checked later and had 5 boxes. That'll do me a while.

I checked late AM and were all gone. A fellow shooter ordered 500 for his 25-20 WCF Winchester 92 early this morning. Midway confirmed order. He was wondering if Midway would fill his order. I told him that he didn't have anything to worry about. I've never experienced a missed item on a Midway order if it was confirmed at time of placing order.

What would be the upper FSP use with these.
I'm doing a 25-222mag like the 257 Kimber.
3200 FPS.
Too fast?
