    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

    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.

    Stop reading mags.
    You only get one usually very biased opinion.

    @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.

    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

    I do have a 8mm mould but I doubt that it will work at subsonic velocity it is a 230 grain Spitzer way too long to stabilise at 1000fps you need a short round nose
    I can make some up if you want to try them.
    Cheers
