    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Dirty as mentioned but my 10/22 loves them. Possums not so much...they hit hard and with a decent supressor very little report

    Yup didn't in mine. Didn't group that well at all.
    When sighting in in a little spot they would make a whirring noise after hitting the ground behind the target.
    Thought I had a reasonable group 80m out but never got back to try again.
    They were a bit speedy though.
    I did think they would hit quite hard and if they tumbled on impact like I thought would do a bit of damage

    They shot okay in my Remington .22

    Showed a very curved trajectory as you'd expect with such a heavy bullet

    Not really sure what they're intended for, but I can't think of a better .22 round for homekill sheep or pigs at close range

    Hi all
    i found these didnt work flight wise in my bang sticks [shot gun groups an sideways impacts ]
    but i came across a Volquartsen fast twist 1:8 22lr Ruger 10/22 barrel for sale
    Had read online that the heavy 60gn on semis would open the bolt a tad before the bigger massed projectile would fly down the barrel
    so built a bolt action to use this barrel ..still didnt have the moa that i felt should happen
    there was a factory fitted thread adaptor on the Volquartsen barrel so had this removed ,rethreaded the barrel direct to a good AimSport suppressor
    Wish i had used a better quality donner bolt action

    Now i have a good moa shooter @ 75 m zero .Very Very quiet but man do those 60grain hit hard
    cheers to all
