Fuck Yeah, if they can offer them for a reasonable price ill be all over them. 3 bucks a pop for the Lehigh is a bit steep
I'll be very keen to try these
What powder would you put behind this in a 20" .308?
Accuracy all over the show with baking powder
Id be starting with trailboss.
@shooternz, you might run out of work ;-)
They should make one no more than 165 gr. That is enough through an animal and will stabilise in a normal 308 factory twist barrel.
[QUOTE=Friwi;642917]@shooternz, you might run out of work ;-)
Only if they can sell them for less than .30 cent each, Have you ever known Nosler to sell cheap bullets my guess is they will be $2.50 or more.
Think I will go for a a price rise to make up for lost sales:thumbs:
i have them on order, no eta but they will be $60 for a box of 50

put me down for two boxs pleaseQuote:

Hope hornady is going to go on bang wagon and get out something cheaper out
Sweet. That's a bit more like it. Hopefully they work wellQuote:

Very good article in NZ Guns using Trailboss for the 222 and similarly the 223.Very informative and helpful. You get a bit sick of the constant drivel in some of the mags.Quote:

I experimented with .223 rem subs but couldn't get them to shoot. Only tried 2 different 55gn projectiles though.
Any word on these? Looks like hornady is dipping their toes in the pond as well. Sub x or some such. Be good to have a few less spendy options
I’m keen to try them in my blackout, would be nice to have a proper subsonic projectile that with will feed reliably for shooting goats,pigs,rabbits,possums cheaper than what’s out there at the moment. I will still use the Lehigh’s for deer.
This is how the yanks are getting on.
Nosler 30 Caliber 220 Grain Ballistic Tip RN-BLACKOUT - Page 4 - 300BlkTalk
That doesnt look very promising for most of us if they are struggling to stabilize in a 1 in 7 twist :(Quote:

Theyd be bloody mad not to. still factory could be ok as long as its cheaper than the 50 bucks for the whisper 208 amax subs.Quote:

The 151 cast one's one trade me are the tits and I won't be buying anything else. They are cheap very well made and are effective on red sized game also fun for popping bunnies.

Yeah i shoot an ar though, wont cycle that light
Robert makes a 170grn the same shape with flat nose......shoot just as good....try them maybe?????
My only issue with these is that they wont feed from the mag in my model 7 due to the blunt noseQuote:

Load them shorter?Quote:

Was using a single shot bergara . I had them loaded quite short I've got the coal somewhere . Why won't they feed? Other round nose bullets feed from mags?Quote:

I already have them seated well back, and have mucked around with OAL a bit, but no joy. It is not a big problem as I only use them for the goats and then only one animal at a time.Quote:

I can make some up if you want to try them.
Cheers

Hi Robert Keen as Mate I can pop over the hill and pick up when there done.Quote:

Doesn't sound like they are going to release the projectiles by themselves at this stage, hopefully enough pressure will be put onto them to do so :(Quote:

At least the Hornady’s have a better BC than the Nosler’s and be in box’s of 100 when they do get released.
