I shot a few of these through my 03's today. Pushed by about 15 gr of 2400, they grouped OK. 3 went into about an inch at 50 yds, and 5 did about 3 inches at 100. Actually 4 of the 5 were noticably tighter, but one opened it up. Point of impact was only about 3 inches higher than my normal cast '06 load, making for an easy sight adjustment. I could see using this as an offhand and rapid fire practice load.
I also tried 18 gr, which is my normal load for a 196 gr TC GC bullet. The "groups" were blown wide open. I could only find 4 holes at 100 yds, the fifth missed the paper and backer completely. No matter, lighter is better IMHO.
