Anyone try these bullets? I just ordered 1.5K from them. They are pretty cheap compared to a lot of bullets out there. I can not find much info on them. I have 3 different guns I want to try them in. One Axis 223 with a HB. It shoots everything fairly well. Then 2 AR15's. One is picky on what it likes the other shoots just about everything the same. Right between a .80"- 1.1" groups.

I bought 500 of them a while back and haven't tried them yet. I'm hoping to get out and try them soon. Keep us updated with your results.

Tried out some with RL10x. I got 2 loads weights that are under an inch out of my 16" 1-9 twist AR. I have some more loaded with H4895 and TAC. Going to try these in my 18" 1-7 twist SS upper. Just have to wait till I fix the front ball joints on my Jeep. The private range I use you have to have a 4WD to get to it.

Sounds promising.....look forward to your results!
Sounds fun on the jeep...NOT! I just replaced one end of the steering linkage on our jeep last week.

just remember they are "inexpensive' blasting bullets, not target bullets.
set your expectations correctly and have fun.

My 9 twist M70HV likes them OK. They average 1/2" for me.

Adding my 2 cents a bit late but. That bullet shoots extremely well in my 9 twist factory 223 barrel. With 25.1 grains of Varget it puts five into a half inch at 200 yards. I'm seating them about .005" OTL. Loads are in Lapua brass and Br-4 primers.

That's good to know! That's the first rifle I'm gonna try them in. I've got an 8 twist AR to run them thru also.
