The reviews are AWFUL but it might be disinformation from a buyer who is stocking up and does not want others to jump in ahead of him. I have 100 coming and can let you know how bad they look and the color of their plastic tips. I am a conservative with a lowercase "c".

He called me complaining about they wouldn't group. An inspection revealed all of them had a slight bend to them. Told him to quit being a cheepaskate and buy good bullets.

My experience as well. Not a big deal and they shot well. I received 800 22 cal seconds from Midway last week in three varieties, all 70 gr or better. But I have not inspected the contents of the boxes yet. People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

Great gopher bullets. They put on quite the aerial circus act when hit. Jackets are a bit fragile so don’t shoot them out of your 8 twist 22-250. I use them extensively in my 8-9 twist 223s though some suggest even that’s on the ragged edge of them coming apart. They’re obviously not a 1000 yard bullet though. Yours in Liberty, BL
