This thread has been quiet.
I've been doing 45-70 lately, these shoot clean and accurately. 1700 fps from a Marlin SBL. About 1" / 75 m -but I have an Aimpoint so groups are a bit hard to shoot.
Left bullets are Applegate 475 grain soft nose (160 grn of pure lead in the nose). Middle are Mihec 450 grain HP, right two are solid Applegate 475 grainers.
Colours are random mixes that keep changing.
