I think thats the one. Not a Keith type but one they load anyway.
Actually, i don't know a thing about them Mark Cassill [charter bulldog article on gunblast.com} had this sample at a Texas shoot and was hoping the best for the business. He said that the load pictured actually clocked in the 1300s from his 5" .357 Redhawk.

These loaded rounds looked good -just like the corbon 200grain lfp to me.
 
Ah! Right, they are probably the 185 gr. LFN then. (I was fixated on the .44 Mag rounds.)

1300 is darn good. Did he mention any leading problems? Looks like the company is conservative in their claim (1250 fps), which is refreshing. The prices aren't all that bad when compared to other premium cartridges.
 
didn't get into accuracy but he was also pleased with the extra velocity. Corbon has the same tendency to under-report actual speed. Then again Redhawks tend to maximize velocity for some reason or another.

I've shot the corbon lead flat point and found them accurate. These guys use all the right words on their web page and seem to have some knowledge of what the revolver enthusiasts want. We wondered if the field isn't covered by Buffalo Bore and a few others but I suspect that there is a big enough market for another keith/bullet/load supplier.
 
Good God at the prices!!!! I never realized how expensive custom ammo is. I handload the 44 Magnum Keith load, and I figure it costs about $.10/round, if the Starline brass life is only 10 loadings. Geez, maybe I should start selling some.
 
After helping to prop up the Swedish GNP a few percentage points by buying a few boxes of Norma, those prices seem really tame :D
