walshie 2,804 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Anyone tried these yet? I've worked my way through a couple of boxes in 223 53gr. 3650fps. That's getting on for 22-250 velocity. Quote Link to post

coling 0 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Hi walshie I use these in my 223 with very good results . At first my tikka would only group with home loads after trying others and then tried these and wasn't hoping for much but I was amazed how accurate they were and have accounted for many of fox. They have my vote . Regards Colin Quote Link to post
gazjon5 803 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I couldn't get them to group (165 or 180 gr) at all in my 30-06 X bolt. Quote Link to post
Ratmanwan 66 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 My round of choice in my 22.250, they don't like it up em ! Quote Link to post
DeerhoundLurcherMan 997 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Just bought 2 boxes of them 53grn in .223, will be zeroing my new scope asap with them... Will post up the results Quote Link to post
JBWALES 5 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 What are you using them for. If it's just for foxing out to 200 yards or so, I don't see any advantage over the cheaper stuff, as long as the cheaper stuff groups ok in your rifle. They are devastating on vermin though, probably not a good choice if you intend to eat anything you shoot with them. I tried the 40 grainers in my .223 Howa & they were no more accurate than Privvy, so decided to go with those as I don't reload. John Quote Link to post
Tracker06 1 Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Awsome bullets... Used them in my 270 and 3006!!!!gmx are also great. Great knock down and retention Quote Link to post
ValerieLeverette 2 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) IS this 22-250 velocity is good according to you? Edited May 21, 2015 by ValerieLeverette Quote Link to post
dixyhmr 62 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Just be aware the claimed velocities hornady advertise don't always live up to expectations, especially in the .243 calibre where anything less than a .24" barrel will generally struggle. I've chronoed the .243 58 g v max which are supposedly doing 3900 fops. They were actually doing 3650................ .223 40 grain v max ( not superformance ) claims 3800 but actually delivers through a 20" barrel around 3670. 53 g superformance .................... Etc, etc etc,. My advice is always chrono your ammo in your rifle to get a true indication of the energy and trajectory. Quote Link to post
hutchey 147 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Use them in my 223 with good effects 1 Quote Link to post
shropshire dan 467 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Use them in my .22-250 very fast and accurate round. Gained a 1/4 inch on groupings over standard hornady vmax 55g. I now use Hornady superformance vmax 50g. Awesome round and yet to have a runner Quote Link to post
slipper 116 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 how much are they Dan? do you get them from her in town Quote Link to post
shropshire dan 467 Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) No mate from West Mid shooting ground they are £29 a box but well worth it, got 6 foxes tonight with them mate. Closest yards and longest 310 yards no holdover for any Edited May 30, 2015 by shropshire dan Quote Link to post
