They must be the same ones, because they have a huge amount of exposed lead. I've never been a fan of those types of bullets because they are so easy to deform, but these were just too inexpensive to pass up.
So far they've been feeding fine, but I've had to set them back pretty far to keep them out of the rifling. Between that and the fact that they're already pretty long to begin with, there's not a lot of case capacity left. So far, I've only tried a 25 gr charge of Varget for 2110 fps out of a 18.5" barrel. That's all the powder that will fit behind the bullet.
I may try some more powders, but most likely I'll save these bullets for the .260 that I will eventually have or a single shot pseudo-Grendel that I will also eventually have.
Thanks,
Will
