Or better still between the ACP and Copperhead projectiles..
I'd personally like to see some of these Copperhead 20 cal projectiles, and the price of course.
Jacko, I can see your point mate, its great that you took the time to try and spread the news about a new Aussie projectile.
Would I use them ?
Probably if there were more large critters around here that I might stumble upon at night, but as my 20/222 is set up as a fox and cat gun I can't see myself rushing out and getting any in the near future. Price would be the killer for me, they just cant compete with the projectiles that I have. If or when supplies dry up and become very expensive, I would then look at them again.
Exactly mate. I am not trying to say they would replace most peoples standard pill, it just wouldn't be cost efficient for most people. I can see them being handy on occasions though for most people.
A scenario where I do see them being useful, is like this weekend for me, I am going pig hunting, and spotlighting, and I like to use not much bigger than a 223 for under the light, as it just gets offensive. I had the ability to change from the standard 40 grain NBT, to something a bit harder and better suited for a pig, which is what I did, cause I know I won't be pulling the trigger a 1000 times this weekend or anything like that, so I can afford to run a better projie for that. I also know I won't get great shots due to the area copping a bit of hunting pressure, more than likely shooting up their arse to atleast turn them around for a head shot, which the 40 grain 22 cal nbt isn't great for, but a super roo, or 65 grain game king or ttsx is better for. When I go home and am just shooting grasshoppers mostly, I'll probably go back to the 40 grain load or the 55 grain load I have as well.
I think that is where these will carve a niche, not everyone needs 'em or wants 'em, fair enough, but it is good to see more pills around, particularly in the 20 cal offerings, which I honestly thought was pretty limited, clearly doesn't need a lot of pills to perform, but more choice is always good!
