    Many moons ago I think I bought a box, didn't buy a second, can't remember how they done now, don't think I ever shot them at anything living. I do remember externally they looked quite dirty.

    Has anyone ever tried these bullets?
    The RFD has some of these and I am always tempted to try them, I was wondering how consistent they are and how they perform on game...

    The packaging looks like this:

    He has Normas as well. I quite fancy trying them so (if they are any good) I can possibly develop a load using Norma soft points in the .270...

    That would give me a:
    90gr hp load (Speer)
    130gr BT (SST)
    140gr target/match (VLD)
    and a 130gr soft point (Norma)

    Which would be nice :)

    Czech ammo,does what it says it will do,very smokey[dirty],and their ammo boxes are as weak as Hell! almost as if they are made out of the lowest grade of cardboard possible,so expect shell s to be flying all over the place if so much as there is 1% dampness in the air.:eek:

    never chrono'd them but would not group well in my 6.5.
    Shot plenty of deer and goats but that was heart lung where sub moa was not needed.

    When compared against Norma, Norma groups were half the size if not smaller.

    I bought them for £14 punt a box back in the student days when it was cost effective, missed a lot of rabbits with them, rarely missed with Norma or lapua.

    I put a couple of boxes of them through my hornet when i had it and didnt like them. Very dirty bullet as in the bore after firing them and not very consistent shooting..

    I use them in my marlin xs7 in .308 They're 180gr rnsp and seem to be doing the job well enough out to 200 meters.

    Used them in .303 calibre. Great round. Way better than Prvi for accuracy. I'll be sticking with them. As an aside, anyone know what HPS in .303 is like?
