Manufacturer Description:
The ARX is revolutionary from the way it’s manufactured, to its shape, to the way it transfers energy to the target. ARX projectiles are injection-molded from a specially blended polymer-copper matrix that is designed to be tough enough for an all-purpose defense round.
Unlike hollow points which must expand to achieve their desired terminal effect, non-expanding ARX projectiles are designed and proven to provide consistent terminal performance. Upon entering soft tissue, the specially designed grooves in the nose harness soft tissue and constrict, pressurize and eject it at 1.5 to 2 times the directional speed of the bullet. This is the well-known Venturi Effect. As the bullet penetrates, it tumbles in a controlled, predictable fashion that delivers consistent terminal performance that equals or exceeds conventional hollow-point designs without over-penetrating. These rounds are frangible on hardened steel.
Inceptor ARX Preferred Defense rounds have an ARX nose profile and are designed to function in all weapons, including large-frame handguns, carbines and automatic weapons. Due to the lightweight ARX bullet, it has a low-recoil signature translating into less muzzle rise and quicker on-target follow-up shots in critical defense situations. The design and composition of the projectiles also mean less cleaning and wear-and-tear on your gun.

Inceptor 38 Cal (.357) 77gr ARX
I'm working up loads with CFE-pistol and BE-86. These projectiles have been very consistent and provide excellent neck tension in standard sized brass. After flaring the cases just slightly, as recommended, they seat easily with no shaving. Since the conventional seating/crimping die for 357/38 spl is a roll crimp, I adjust it only to seat the bullet. I purchased a separate 357/38 spl taper crimp die to remove the case flare, and it works perfectly. These are a great value and I look forward to shooting them. In addition, the service from Ravenrocks has been awesome. I've made several purchases, and all were well packaged and shipped very quickly.

devastating velocity
Well, I managed to get 1886 FPS out of these for a whopping 608 pounds of muzzle energy. No pressure signs at all. I have to keep the load secret due to liability issues. Check out Ammo Guide for some good reloading information.
