There are several threads posted on them around here. I'm not sure which forums however but a search should locate them. I've used some and like them quite well. They don't appear to be seconds in any sense of the word to me and are very accurate in my rifles.

There were a couple threads up in the H&R CF & P-dog shoot forums about these bullets , I have not used any but you may be able to find some info up there .

Kurt some interesting info can be had at the link below.  I'm placing an order this morning myself of the 55s $140 for 2M so I can decide for myself.  I'll get some 50s for my 22-250 as 50 to 52s are it's favorite.

I have used 34 grain and 50 grain bullets. I find that they shoot well, maybe not as well as some of the premium plastic tipped bullet, but as well or better than some other spire point and hollow point bullets. With a 223 and the 50 grain bullets I was getting about 1.5" groups at 200 yards, but that was just some loads I threw together and really did not do any load development with them. I would really like the 34 grain bullets to do well in my 22 Hornets and 221 FB. With some W296 powder in the 22 Hornet, they get some outstanding velocities. I just have not worked with them enough to say that they are going to be "the load" or not.

I like the 55 gr. .22 cal`s for hunting coyotes with an AR. The first 5 I shot went .700 at 100 yrds. from my AR so I never worked up a load as these bullets are for off hand shooting at mostly running coyotes. Hit 1 through the chest at abt 70 yrds. left a 3 1/2 to 4 in hole on back side. 1 hit in the chest from the frount was a bang flop with no exit. Have a friend I got on them and he loves them in a .22-250 for PD`s, say they really splat.

Catfish I've read your and other's posts on varminthunters and I'm just curious what kind of loads  you've used in the AR loads.  I'm used to using 844 and on occasion h335 for all my AR needs.  I'd love to use WW748 but just too much $$$.  How do these bullets compare to the Hornady SX or have you used both.  The SX will not hold up for me at 22-250 my max velocities of around 3860 in a 1-12 and give up in the ARs at around 3100 fps or a bit less with a 1-9 barrel.

I am on my second box of 2K.  Using these in my 223 AI at 3550-3600 fps with no problems.  They WILL group well, as in 12" at 700 yards.
