The reason I can recommend them is because they work. I know I have tried them. The bullets offer up plenty of weight, and they are designed to expand at lower velocities. The idea is a great one for kids and women to start with. If you get a .243, then thats all you have is a .243. But if you got a .308, then shot the low recoil rounds, You would have a gun that shoots like a .243, but after getting accustomed to the gun and recoil, you would also have the option of feeding it full power .308 rounds with a wider range of offerings and uses.
I have no idea if you have shot those rounds or not. If you have not then you should try them before you tell someone how bad they are. Being wrong is not shameful, if you have any idea of that which you are speaking, but being wrong when you don't have any experience to draw upon is just dumb. I can speak with experience. That is what allows me to say they work and work well, and nothing you can say or do will ever change that, but if you don't like them, no one will try to make you use them. Just don't try to mislead other people who might benefit from them.
Sometimes it seems like there is a personal agenda around every corner.
Remenber, we all have opinions, some are informed, some are not, but because of that , the companies make many different offerings .... enough so that almost anyone can find something that might work for them.
And I am sorry if my explaination is beyond you. But sometimes it just beeeeesss that way. Pick up a box and give em' a try.
You need to use quotes to reply to people to aviod confusion.
