Hi, anyone shot these out of their 500 A-Square or 500 Jeffery? At 80 cents apiece they seem like a deal if they would function in your rifle.

jeffeossothey had been 20cents each, 2 or 3 years ago .. if your rifle isn't throated for them, they will be somewhat tough to workup loads.
you won't be able to feed from the mag
That ogive works fine in the standard 500A2 throat.
Works great as a single-load in a bolt action 500A2 or Ruger No.1. Too long for magazine loading in a Rigby-length box.
They might be more accurate than the 35-cent milsurp ball I used to get. No pull marks on them.
Should be excellent target plinkers.

fla3006Pat's Reloading has API's for 26 cents apiece if you buy 1000, 29 cents each for 100, less than I paid recently.
