    Just thought I'd share this with you. clap roger

    I was waiting for someone to try these bullets, thanks for the report. I almost ordered some Monday when I ordered some other stuff from MidSouth.
    My brother and I just built CA legal AR style 223 rifles and those things eat some ammo. I'm the designated reloader so I'm always looking for a good deal.

    I think I'll try some on my next order.

    Roger what can I say you just found some more whiskey money. I have a bunch of those I bought to use in my carry rifle. That 2520 data looks interesting. Thanks for the post.

    Frank,Using Varmint Nitemare and the 2230-C the cost of your shooting will be reduced significantly. You still can get some good buys on WCC846 and WCC844. There were no flys on their performance either. thumbroger
