Anyone have any comments on them...besides they are outrageously expensive? I'm pretty sure luck was on my side but today I shot my best reload group EVER on a first-try recipe. Three shots one hole about 1/2" from edge to edge off a bipod in sitting position in the bed of my truck. 2 shells had a COL of 2.33" and one was 2.25" I shot the short one first and it made the left side of the whole...for all I can tell the two long ones were playing follow-the-leader. This is at 50yards...but I imagine that gives .75MOA on a first try recipe in less than benchrest shooting situation.

THIS IS EXCITING cause the only other stuff I handload for are revolvers.

22-250 Remington 700bdl sporter (stock) barrel
9 1/2 Rem. Primer
Win. brass
34gr IMR 4320
53gr. Barnes XLC FB
2.33" OAL

Had to share.

(The partition load isn't key-holeing but is still a 2MOA load and the blue-dot load I tried was probably a 1.5MOA load...I'll keep working on them to see what happens)
