Anyone running these in a .223 for reduced loads? I am down to the last of my calhoon bullets and seeing these at $8 per hundred makes them very tempting. I am looking at pushing them between 2500-2800fps as a midrange load. http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.c...-34-Grain-Premium-Flat-Base-HP-500-Count

I am using them in a Contender .22 K Hornet at about 3000 fps. They are pretty accurate, but are not as explosive nor quite as accurate as the 40 grain V Max bullets. For the price they are a real deal for plinking ammo and for shots at an occasional crow or starling.

I use them exclusively in my 22 Hornet. Pretty accuracte, but I have only shot varmints to 200 yards. I found the 20 caliber ones accurate in one 20, but not another.
