Anyone have a dozen or so they would swap for some 140 Amax or 123 Amax?

@Gibo will have a few ;)
No. Berger are the only ones of repute I haven't tried. @sneeze was talking about using some in his new rifle and it peaked my interest. I have a load I am happy with but just curious.Quote:

That bugger would shoot them into an old stump, dig them out before he sent them down[emoji16]Quote:

Yip I have some Dave, PM or text your addy

Timing is everything, and with no takers I ended up shooting them as foulers. Shot well, very well actually, but just wasn't sure if an extra 10gr wasn't going to be better at longer ranges.
I couldn't find it but assume you had some to give away? I must have missed it.Quote:

Be keen to see the results Dave, they might have you changing direction. Bloody accurate by all accounts and have minimal bearing surface so FPS could be up on the 129.
Worth a crack then. [emoji106]Quote:

I tried them in my 6.5x47L but had to jam them to get good accuracy which I didn't want to run for a hunting load, @R93 think I have a part box somewhere, if they work for you let me know & I'll dig them out & send them over
Awesome thanks mate. I wouldn't ever use a load I had to jam on a hunting rifle.Quote:

Mine are a country mile off the lands.....its good enough for my hunting gun. Mod 7 so pissy little mag box. 2820 fps at mag length.
Attachment 82730
Sounds good. I don't have mag length issues because I can just change mags which determine whether she is a long or short action. So I can get them close to the lands if needed.

Try some W760 (H414) Gibo for some better speed and probably grouping :XD:Quote:

Yeah mate I got your point. Sometimes ya get a barrel that will shoot anything you feed it.Quote:

Im going to try the 140 elite hunters, according to Litz very seating depth friendly. . Brilliant in the 338. The 105 vlds are very accurate in the 243ai but took some work to get there.
A mate is using them in his 260 with good resultsQuote:

Wasn't an ideal day to shoot groups wind wise but the results with a lighter load than I intend to use, were way better than I expected.
Just need to settle on a load and see how they tip animals over.
Oh and I need to find a good supply of them[emoji16]

Good shit. Should deal to the deer no sweat
@R93 did you have the Labradar hooked up? Be interested if they were quicker out of the tube than the Hornady's of same load.
No. I shot a grain under what my interlock load was just to see if they were going to shoot. After this weekend I will speed them up and use the radar.Quote:

1st impressions are really good tho.

Quite impressed with these projectiles so far. I am half a grain less than my interlock load getting 2950fps over the radar with Norma brass (warm day and I didnt shoot an interlock to compare). ES was 14fps. Did manage to shoot one of the better 5rnd 200 yrd groups I have for a while. Sort of surprising considering the mirage. Just need to get a stash and do some hunting and see how they go.Quote:
