They are somewhere in the middle range for powder charge if I'm not mistaken. nowhere near max but they were cloverleaf at 100 yards for me so I didn't bother further tinkering after I found that load#ThankYouForLessOverzealousModding #WeDemandUnlimitedLikes#WeDemandADislikeButton 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was looking at using a soft point rather than a hollow point. I think that may take some of the "explosiveness" out of it and mushroom instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know lots of people use them for hunting with great success. May also want to look into the ftx bullets.#ThankYouForLessOverzealousModding #WeDemandUnlimitedLikes#WeDemandADislikeButton Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Jerkman 5904 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I was trying but can't find them in stock...lolFinding anything in stock at this point is virtually impossible. But I will say finding the actual bullets is far easier than finding the primers which everyone knows is the cheapest part of the whole thing#ThankYouForLessOverzealousModding #WeDemandUnlimitedLikes#WeDemandADislikeButton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
