Did not expect the 1-9 twist to be this repeatable. Pleasant surprise. Get them while they last for 7 cents apiece. roger

Hey Roger,

Have you figured out who makes these? How do you think they would they do in a Hornet?

I suspect that's what they were really made for. It doesn't look that I could even down load and duplicate the hornet perfomance without the right twist barrel. It shouldn't be much of a gamble for you to buy 500; if they don't work for what they cost someone will take them off your hands. roger

I can't remember which way it was.. but Nosler is making one for one company and Hornady is making the other...

the varmint extremes are being made by Nosler on private label contract.. according to a source over in Bend at Nosler..
