[QUOTE="warboar21, post: 2657061, member: 88146"] My friend's father had some for his Winchester model 70 in 30-06 and like most everyone else he didn't do so hot with them. He used them mainly to teach my friend and I to shoot a larger caliber centerfire rifle since they had significantly less recoil compared to even a 150gr. Fast forward a couple decades and I found a few boxes at an estate sale chambered in 30-30Win. I thought they would be fun in my Savage 340. They actually didn't do to bad out of that little 340 with the peep sight. Never shot a live animal with them so I don't know how well they would've performed but looking up the velocity online just now I think they would've done quite well. 3600fps for a 55gr .224cal bullet is pretty respectable in my book.
