Plumb nasty looking bullets. After discount, exactly $1.00 per bullet (ouch!). They recommend a twist of 1:7" to 1:9", so my 1:8" is right on the money. These are a bit lighter than the Swift, but with the bullet construction, length and twist, they should drill deep enough to put venison in the freezer. The do with aplomb! You need to find a new place to buy bullets Yep!!!! Them's dead! Thats pretty impressive bullet performance! Hopefully the Barnes bullets will do as well. As to the bullet cost, thats a country town gunstore and I don't mind paying a bit extra most times to keep the shop in town. I just rang the big gunsshop in Sydney, they didn't have any 62Gn Barnes in stock, but had 70Gns Barnes Triple shocks in stock, $35 for 50 or 70c a shot. fact is while I like to save money, a days hunting shooting goats, etc and maybe the occasional deer, $1 a shot is no biggie. If I was shooting roos professionally and going through 150-200 bullets a night, then I'd be looking for a cheaper alternative. Thanks for the input guys! Last edited by FourFingersofDeath; 03/30/12.
