Good day fellow hunters and shooters.

Do any or have any of you ever hunted with and shot with this above mentioned bullet.
I bought 100 to try and while loading last night i noticed big variances in the base-to-ogive length of the bullets. as much as 0.2mm.

Have any of you used this bullet with good accuracy. I know its a hunting bullet so i presume its performance on game will be good but accuracy wise i am not sure.

I haven't shot any of loads that i made yet. so just putting feelers out there.

Kind Regards
Eric

They give good performance on game, but there have been complaints re accuracy. They tend to give pressure signs so be careful.

Eric, I'm not loading in your calibre... but to eliminate some variance I first sort them by weight and then by base to ogave. The ones that sit to far out of the norm is then used in fouling shots. With oom Tripod's cuation in mind, I load them on the slower node and touching the land for best accuracy. 1mm jump also groups sub MOA.

It seems more guys are giving them a shot these days though but I realy could not get consitant opinions on prevered jump.

They have a long bearing surface hence the pressure people are getting with them but they shoot accurately when you get the right recipe. Shot them in a 25-06 bery well.

Dankie vir die bevestiging. Ek kan onthou dat daar vinnig druk was met een van my berekeninge. Versistig wees is dus die wagwoord !!!!!!
