    @Scotty Cheers mate
    Dont know when I will get around to try them though.
    Got some factory Geco. Great price and shoot 1-1/2 group at a hundy but it is a very round roundnose and it didnt travel very far through the one deer I shot with it.
    Hit ribs on an average spiker and didnt come out the other side with only soft stuff in the way. Only just I may add
    Now you could say it was perfect it absolutely wrecked everything in it's way but it didn't really have much opposition and didnt have far to go
    On the geco websites own graphs for comparison it doesnt rate well for penetration compared to its other offerings
    Sort of want better out of the bigger calibre.
    Definitely dont reckon it's a double shoulder breaker.
