[QUOTE="Joel Russo, post: 894533, member: 6152"] Bring on the hate mail fellas, I got my big boy pants on.... I call 'em what they are, if they are turned out of a homogenous piece of solid copper, then they are solids in my book. The fact of the matter is, they shoot no better than a bonded core bullet, and they kill no better than a bonded core bullet. I really wanted them to work in the big 338, as they were much flatter from 650 out to 1,789 when I was testing them against the SMK. You want data... Okay, here's your data. I'm not going to give you everything, but enough to prove my point. 30" barrels, twisted appropriately, 3,200 fps for both of the 300 grain CE, and the SMK. 650 CE 8.5. SMK 9.5 785 CE 11.5. SMK 12.5 1,293 CE 25.5 SMK 27.75 1,460 CE 31.25 SMK 34.75 1,789 CE 44.25 SMK 49.25 You see why I wanted them to work.... Shot them over and over on paper at 1,760, and could never get a consistent group under moa. The SMK would shoot sub 12" groups routinely, and occasionally dip, into the single digits, and a best of 3.806". I quit wasting time, powder, primers, and my patience, and turned my cheek at the CE. Go ahead and hate. [/QUOTE]
