I went for a look around last night, foxes were very scarce and I ended up with a wet arse again, but I managed to shoot this large vixen as she trotted parallel to me about 50m off. Shot has hit the left shoulderblade and gone to town, blown the spine out and exited the other shoulder.
i didn't even realise there was a 22 planned. They definitely turn ANY rifle into a more then a varmint gun (as long as it has some velocity) I doubt you can compare price was to bulk projectiles especially in the smaller calibres, but if you buy 1000 projectiles i think it is you get free post and a fee box too.
Compared to Barnes for example and some other pills to come outta the states that are hard to get onto they are def worth while.
Just a few quick questions, have you checked the weights of the pills? is there much variation?
Did you happen to find that the COAL varied a little, i have chewed though nearly 50 of these suckers in my 338WM. I couldn't get my seating to become consistent, i have now chamfered the rim of my seating plug and will retry
I dunno what is going on with production of these, last I heard the fella making them was too interested in what goes on in the US to worry about us fellas over hear. I was thinking of giving some a go when they came out, but with the big price difference and rumors heard about contact/supply from the maker, couldnt be bothered. If you want to use them, make sure you have a plentiful supply as you might not get any more.
Just use load data for any other projectile of that weight and observe normal loading safety practices and you should be right.

I plan on using them as a varmint round, nothing more. I am interested to see how they perform...
