Has anyone used thees bullets in the .223, Particularly the 50grn. I just ordered a batch to try, there video is very impressive but I have not talked to anyone who has actually used them.

I've shot them out of my HK 630 before. While they won't function the action, they were murder on a couple of jack rabbits and just vaporized some chipmunks we were having problems with around the camp. A little expensive, but I recommend that you try them.

They do a heck of a job on bobcats and foxes. My varmint hunting partner uses them in his Mini14. They also turn ground squirrels into pink mist

I just ordered 250 to try. They seem to be the most economical of the non lead 223 bullets. I am glad to hear you guys have had success with them.

I love 'em. They need a fast twist. They work perfectly in an AR-15.

From a Savage Model 25 .223:

I have only tried the .22 caliber VG bullets.
