These arrived to test. Hopefully I will have a modified dasher back in time to test some and then shoot a 300 mozzie with them

They are shorter than the 55 Berger base to tip but longer from ogive to base so greater bearing surface. I’ll shoot a ladder this weekend

Just make sure you walk underneath it after you have shot it.

Very nice looking projectiles. Will be very interesting to see how they go in your twentyosaurus.

The straight section at the bottom of the gully allowed a measured 223m for a ladder test. I suppose it should have been further but I was racing the wind which always blows harder as the day goes on.
The pills are shorter than the 55gn Berger but the bearing surface is longer. Without guidance from a real expert I deduced that longer bearing surface means more pressure so I started the ladder 1.5 gns below the current very hot 55gn load.
Apart from the first low shot they are all in a neat little line. With 3 shots left Kickinback suggested I go straight to max as every round seemed to be telling the same story. It went into one of the previous holes. There was hardly any wind. I would attribute the windage to the fact the bag want aligned exactly facing off to the target
I will shoot a 300 mozzie with these in 2 weeks when I should hopefully take delivery of my new Jacko rest and Kickinback will have fitted a 3 inch wide bit of metal to the forend so it tracks properly
