Going to load some of these up when my order shows up. Passing along the link if anyone else was interested in trying them. Only place ive been able to find them.

Wow, those have a G7 BC of .330.

That's higher than any of Berger's 6.5 offerings.

I just got 1200 of their .224 70 gr. bullets. I won't be able to get out before Duck season is over, but I'm anxious to try them. They should be ok for my 1-9 Colt. I also have a 1-7 20" WOA service rifle bbl.

I loaded 15 rds. ea. of Reloader15, IMR8208, 2000MR, Varget, Benchmark and Accurate XMR 4064.

I hope they will shoot well with one of those combinations.

I did also get 200 of their 175 .308 RDF to try out in my 308 Win. rifles.

I'm finishing up a 20" AR build and also have a semi in 6.5 Creedmoor... I'll probably have to pick some up!

I did actually get a few to try which were delivered today... I'll post a picture later but holy cow these things are slick!

Too bad for those who missed out... They had a 10% off deal too this week

I ordered some 70s and 175s just this morning and received 10% off automatically during checkout, which I was surprised to see. So GTG today it appears.

BTW, the Hide has a thread discussing results of using the new RDF bullets. Besides some of the crap, there is a lot of good information how the different bullets are performing.

Random thought... I wonder if these bullet tips will deform at all when cycled through a semiautomatic.... Which will defeat the purpose

I have 50 loaded mag length with the intention of being used in a semi,& highly doubt that there will be a problem.They are long for a 70gr bullet,lookling a bit like a Berger vld.

The blems i received had really twisted meplats. Shooters pro shop has amazing customer service and took them back no problem. Got some new 140 RDF's and loaded them up. Ran a test and results look good. Going to load up 10 of 41.8,42.0 and 42.2 and run them over the chrono.

Nice group @ 41.8 grains... which powder and firearm?
