I shot them when I first got into muzzy. Just at targets, but they were accurate. I thought it would be less hassle to not have to use a sabot. I also tried pellets too back then. Found its just as easy with sabots and loose powder, so thats what I use now. I had misfires with pellets, but not one since i switched to loose. Not sure how they would perform on game though, probly the same as SSTs I would think :dunno:

They've worked ok for me in my CVA Wolf Northwest. I was getting ~2" groups with them. They weren't too difficult to load either, as long as you use the right bullet starter and get them aligned correctly. The shooting range is the extent of my experience with them though; I've never used them for hunting.

I just tried them in my CVA Optima Northwest with 110 grains of loose 777. They hit all over the target. First shot missed everything and the next two hit 18inches apart. Switched back to the 300 grain SST and printed two 3 shot groups that were under 1.5in. Thought I would give them a try based off reviews but they didn't work for me at all. Also, they are the hardest loading bullet I have ever shot.
