The Varmint nitemares are selling for less tha $5.00/100 at Mid South. I shoot Bergers that don't do this good. Notice how powder insensitive this data Appears. I just love it when a sow's ear turns into a silk purse.

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