FS;

I tried some in the 223... they were finicky to get a load that would shoot well with them.. but finding a load of 21.5 grains of IMR 4198, they gave me a dime sized hole at 100 yds...for 5 shots...

They are finicky, but with the right load they can be tack drivers... and they work pretty darn good so far for me on their explosiveness on the few small rodents I've nailed with them..

Good luck with them...definitely at least worth a try..

A reporter did a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him "Why do you carry a 45?" The Ranger responded, "Because they don't make a 46."

I picked up a couple of boxes from the local ma & pa shop. I'm surprised that they were available for us so soon out here in Canada.
I've got some Benchmark, H-4895 and a whole pile of RL-10X for testing. I'm thinking that these powders might be a tad to slow burning for these light weights. Might have to try a quicker burning powder for them.
