Just curious if anyone has a photo or two of a group at 100 yards?

Oh and how heavy a projectile from the 5.7 brass?

I was working with 9mm as jackets and have not had the chance to make the changes I wanted.
Using J4 Jackets anyone with quality dies can produce bullets on par with the best the Benchrest world can produce.

I've gotten quite a few groups now under 1". I'm getting more and more confidence in these bullets.
I can post some pics soon. Got some posted in my 308 progress die thread.

As you can see I think there is plenty of potential for great accuracy from these bullets made from the FN5.7x28 case. I have noticed that they can be a bit sinsitive as to the loads though. When the magic load is found though..... well, they are quickly becoming my 30 cal bullet of choice.
Good shooting,
BT
