High price MIGHT be worth it beyond 1000 yards. Normal ranges out to 5-600 or so don't think you'll see any vast improvements.

Gentlemen, please keep up the good work.
I'm especially intrigued by the 1K+ factor with the 6.5 Creedmoor.

Mark spun up some 230 grain sickness today and it worked out much better than our 6.5 loads. We dropped our charge from 74.5 (which was hot in our last lot of powder in 220's and 225's ELD-X'-Ms. ) Dropped down to 74 grains of H1K. ADG brass on Win Lrg Rifle primers.
We stacked some rounds at 200 yards and got 2838 FPS with 230 grains. This load took our DOPE from 10.5+ to 10.0 Mils at 1,300 yards. And we were right at 2,900 fps with our 225's and we still dropped our DOPE.
Probably a good 1 mile load. Now to find a mile to shoot.

Yep. These are nice bullets. A real, no B.S. shave of .5 mils at 1300. Pappabear smacked the target on our first attempt too.

This look cool, and are much cheaper than turned solids, and cheaper. But for me I can’t get over the expense. I don’t like shooting multiple loads in the same rifle, dealing with zero shifts, etc. If I can’t feed the rifle a steady diet of a bullet without going in the poor house, I don’t get too horny for them.
Shooting further is definitely a plus, in that it’s a giggle moment. But how does the bullet perform when it comes to killing stuff? How do they compare to the more-affordable EOLs that are awesome at killing things?
