I posted this on the group buy results page but im just to happy with the results that i had to post them here as well.
This is a boolit from the NOE group buy 225-70 RN
here are some pictures of targets after coming back from a first try at the range with these beautiful boolits.
i didn't know what to expect for accuracy with them so i loaded about 50 of them with a very large varying range of powder charge.

powder was BL-C2 since i have several kegs of it i thought i would use it.

bullet is 60% WW and 40% lino'

i compared both the hollow point version and solid version and so far the hollow pointed ones seem more promising.
gun is a rem 700 9 twist 20 inch BBL

powder charge was from 20 to 24 grain.

accuracy at the lower end of the charge was not so good, around 4 inches.
accuracy increased as the charge went up.

final hollow point bullet weight was between 67 to 68 grain after lube and GC.

first picture is of a 5 shot group at 100 yards with 23 grains

second picture is a 4 shot group using 24 grains, the fifth shot was a big time flyer, hit the edge of the paper.

my next trip will be working to see if i can duplicate these results.
for a first try with this boolit i am extremely impressed.
even the other cast shooters at the range couldn't believe the accuracy if this little devil.

Looks like I've been wasting money on J-word for my AR-15. Those are alnost as tight as my Sierra Matchkings. What's the alloy? Water dropped or other hardening? MOST IMPRESSIVE! Realistically, your accuracy matches anything we normally need in a .223 short of benchrest competition. Congrats!

Sorry, I was acting like a kid. I see now that had I actually READ the post you would have answered the questions. Instead I went straight to the photos. It happens when you have a snow day in Texas. . .
