[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Where to buy fancy FN 5.7 projectiles

Specifically, the types that Elite ammunition loads for FN 5.7 & PS90.

I’m currently stocked on 40gr Vmax but looking for something with a bit more punch/reach.

Have you called Elite?

If you’re referring to the T6B or DevestaTOR projectiles, Elite has them produced for them under contract. They own the rights to the design.

Damn!

i figured Elite must be getting a special contract or something but didn’t know if the design was available to the public.

I guess it’s off to try Barnes 45gr TSX....wonder how well that penetrates compared to devastator types?

Horrible. I wouldn't waste your time with any of the TSX line in 5.7. There's simply not enough velocity to get that bullet to perform as intended. I believe years ago, someone modified a 45gr TSX or perhaps a heavier one, to weight about 40gr. It did expand at the velocities they obtained from that projectile.

I thought EA sold T6B projectiles as components at one time?
