Any reports on this bullet? Looking for any info you might have for groups, loading problems (will they load to mag length?) Etc.
I will be using them in a 1:8 twist 18".
Thesse are a little pricey so looking for info before I buy
Thanks

Why the 70gr vs. the 62? What application will you be using them for? FWIW, I played with the 70s but didn't like them as much as the 62s. I had good luck with Varget behind the 62s.

No prejudice between the two, just looking for a hunting bullet that will perform. I have never understood why bullet manuf. have match grade bullets in weights that are not available for hunting. I believe my hunting bullet should be every bit as accurate as my match bullet.
I understand the differences in the compisition of the different bullets.
Just looking for opinions and results
Thanks
