These are brand new bullets. Manufacturer information suggest that due to the polymer-copper compound used to make these projectiles, the user should expect variances in projectile length, weight, and diameter. We've seen that a lot of these projectiles are measuring roughly .309-.310 (similiar to how lead cast bullets are larger than jacketed projectiles) and about 89-90gr.
Tips for Reloading:
Inceptor® Ammunition uses injection molding to create projectiles that are an innovation in bullet design, composition and manufacturing. These projectiles are perfect for self-defense and training; intermediate barrier-blind and frangible on hardened steel. Since polymer-copper projectiles may have the tendency to fracture under stress, a proper loading procedure should be followed to prevent fracturing.
Inceptor polymer-copper projectiles weigh approximately 70% as much as lead core projectiles with similar profiles. This lighter weight means higher velocities, resulting in less bullet drop, less recoil and less muzzle rise, allowing for quicker, more accurate follow-up shots and a very enjoyable shooting experience. Terminal performance, particularly with the patented ARX® projectile, is improved due to higher velocity and design, which creates massive temporary cavities upon impact with soft tissue. This non-expanding projectile harnesses the gain in kinetic energy accrued due to the increased velocity of fluid through the constriction designed into the flutes contained in the ARX projectile. The advanced materials and design used in the manufacture of these projectiles also significantly reduces over penetration and the chance of ricochet, helping to moderate the risk of collateral damage during defense situations.

Good plinking bullet, be careful during reloading
These bullets are manufactured to very exact dimensions, and they are hard as a rock. This makes them somewhat sensitive to out-of-spec reloading equipment. I had polished a case mouth expanding mandrel to improve the performance of my 300 Blackout sizing die. Some brands of brass were getting jammed because of different case wall thicknesses, so I decreased my mandrel diameter to .3055 inches. This caused significant issues with these bullets. Deformed case necks, bullet shaving during seating, and swelling of the case neck during compressed loads. I changed the mandrel out for a new one and discarded the brands with thicker case walls (Ammo Inc is the worst). This instantly fixed the problem, and I loaded hundreds of these bullets with no further issues. I follow the loading guidance fairly closely, and I have good performance with 20 gr of Accurate 1680. I could increase the order, but the recommended COAL is pretty short, and I begin to have issues with bullet alignment of it’s not tucked down into the case. Above 21 grains, I have a high frequency of no-go’s during the cartridge check. Also, it goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway…do not crimp the case neck when reloading these bullets. They are not as soft and forgiving as lead and copper, and crimping case fracture the base of the bullet. I applied only enough case crimp to round out the rim of the case mouth, nothing more. As proof that crimping is bad practice, I pulled some bullets when experimenting with how to load these, and the base of the bullet broke off and got stuck in a case I had crimped. These bullets have been fairly accurate out of my 8, 10, and 16-in barreled rifles. They’re a ton of fun to shoot at steel and make an impressive spall and debris field below the target. They’re a cheap, safer alternative for shooting steel or general plinking with 300 BLK. I plan to buy more!

Inceptor 30 Cal 88gr Frangible Rifle Bullets
I loaded these in my 7.26 X 39 cases with load data used was provided by Inceptor load data site. Fired from my 16" AR -15 upper, chambered for this caliber, I compared the accuracy @ 50 yds , to my usual 123 gr loads in this caliber, and was pleasantly surprised with the accuracy I found. My shots with the 88gr composite bullets grouped tighter than my usual 123 gr loads. Rds. fired with 88 gr bullets hit target about an inch higher @ 50 yds. but able to walk them sown & put rest of rdsin my 1"square target box. Went home from range & ordered more of these bullets. Only downside is data from Inceptor uses H-110 powder, only..

Inceptor 30 cal 88 gr frangible bullets
These were quite straightforward to load into 300 Blackout. Functioned well, no hiccups. Cycled AR pistol flawlessly and accuracy very good out to 100 yards. I am very pleased! Thank you!
