    Anyone that you guys recommend on the forum i give some to test? I dont just want to give to random people but rather people who will do it justice.

    Be interested in 7mm , especially if it’s something like a 150gn Speer HotCore.

    def look at 223 in 70 ish grains would be popular i reckon.

    soft point or ballistic tip. There is a demand for them as they are scarce atm.

    No, max size is 312 at the moment.
    If you can't kill it with bullets, dont f*ck with it.

    @Wingman @Friwi would be as good as any to test them too....on paper and game.
    75/15/10 black powder matters

    Providing plans work out, I’ll give them a go in .308 or .243 if you like. Should have a trip to a new property arranged at some point fairly shortly (like in the next few weeks). Red and fallow deer.

    Hi, at the moment I have barely got the time to take care of my own projects and test my own reloads. Flyblown will definitely be the guy to test on animals I think.

    Some pictures of the bullet, note the nose cavity is diffrent between calibers and weights. I saw some heavies that have lead right to the tip too.
