Default .20 Caliber Bullets

I pointed up some 45 grain 20 calibers bullets, today. They are made with 7 Ogive Corbin dies and are .762" long.
Now to see how dead they will kill coyotes.

Pretty nice looking boolets. Bet my nine twist would love them.

Michael,

I still have a couple hundred of those from NNB. I want to try some in the Cooper VT, and it's 12 twist. Have you tried any yet with a 12T?

Mike

Mike I have not had the turn to try them yet but will shoot them in the postal match. I bet at at your altitude I'd bet they'd stabilize at least according to Kevin Weaver they do. I going to do a run of .40' s next and then hopefully some mid- 30's weights and see if they can be done.

Sounds good Michael. Keep us posted. I'm going to try the 45's this weekend in the Cooper. I'll let you know how they do. I'm thinking I will push them with H335.

I knew Kevin had good success with them in his Bobcat, but I'm not sure what twist he built that rifle with.

Kevin said the 20 Bobcat was a 12 twist Douglas barrel.

Mike did you ever get a chance to shoot these 45's? I purchased the last several hundred MM made and I would like to get more. I one's from MM where .768-.770 in length, are yours the same?

Mike

457ciSBC--The answer to your question about the length of these bullets was in the second sentence of his post. I have copied that sentence for you to read. (Bolding and red color added by me for emphasis!)
