I am doing a little work with these bullets. I did a report on another forum in GBO. Here is a link

I think they have a lot of potential, but I have not done a lot of work with them yet. The same load I was shooting out of the Handi SL was shot out of a Savage Model 40. I feel they are a hot load in the Handi, but not over pressure. I am a little afraid to back off using 296 for fear of causing erratic pressure ( the warnings about going too low with WW 296). The Spear book that have 33 grain bullets call for a starting load of 12.4 grains. See my dilemma? I only shot two rounds and they were way over pressure in the Savage. So I was not able to get any real feel for them in that gun. I was having trigger issues with the Handi, and I am sure that had some thing to do with larger groups than I wanted. I really feel that these bullets are going to find a home on my bench.

Any one else with any shooting experience with these bullets?
