If you don't have to use lead free bullets DON'T. Stick with good old lead bullets, carry the velocity much better and kill better. The lead free bullets are worthless!!

It would be interesting to know how they go though, thinking of the .204 it my well be that one day thats all we are allowed to use. Just a thought because of all the dogooders in the world that say we should change the way we do certain things, it will come one day?.

Hi kenbro been away for a while my computer went down so had to by a new one, on the .17 front its still not to good it shoots so so but still keeps throwing shots up to 3inch of target. I am waiting for a collet neck die to come from Lee then i can try a few more things with it, i can shoot out to about 150yds but thats about it, i think i got a bad smith who also gave me a bad barrel. life,s shit some times, but you got to keep going.

They are accurate, no joke. Stuipd accurate in a Savage 10 Predator. My bud has killed 5 coyotes with them and they all but two have required follow up shots. This is with the center mass shots. THey zip right through them and don't expand. ADam

They have also stopped production on the 30's, now they are only making 24's or something like that. I haven't seen any in the stores yet, so I don't remember exactly. I think the 30's were killed because they required a faster twist than 12 to stabilize.

FWIW
