M0SAD 89 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Well, on a trip to my local RFD to pick up some 12ga Shells for the Semi-auto I thought I would peruse the ammo cabinet. Always up for a bargain I spied these little beauties. Worth a go in my .223 Savage. At just 12 quid it was a no brainer, sadly only the one box though. Not had chance to try them yet. Has anybody ever used these, are they good, bad or just gimmicky? Cheers in advance guys. Quote Link to post
Stavross 13,714 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 I’ve used them in .243, they say that the coating on the tip slows the expanding down, all I found was they killed sh*t like the rest of them 2 1 Quote Link to post
Sausagedog 7,381 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Mate of mine used them in his 250. I didn't like them. Very unpredictable results untill he slowed them down to 223 levels then they behaved more consistently on contact! Quote Link to post

shovel leaner 7,648 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 That bullet looks like it’s been through the wringer!! Looking at the case it looks like they have been scavenging empty cases up the range . And that’s a new bullet ? 2 Quote Link to post

Surprisingly yes, straight out of the box.....deffo see the imperfections when the picture is blown up like that. Probably zero like a shotgun too 1 Quote Link to post
