After a couple of 358 Pills for testing only 2 or 3 of each
ACP 185's and Barnes 225 TSX
I am thinking the acp's will be good allround and 225's for sambar and buff.
I have been conversing with Mr Mitchell after reading his 358ME article and it will be similar to my swede version.

Kickinback,
Projectiles arrived this morning, I must say that they were the best packaged/labeled I have ever received.
Thanks mate.

That's when they do the operation to open your head and see if there is a brain in there, from memory, they found one once, but then discovered that the person was an ex pollie from Canberra.

Nothing moly coated Malcolm. Have several varieties of non coated if this helps.

Thanks for the offer kickinback----- I have a Howa in 6.5 x55 and it copper fouls after 15 rounds. I thought I'd try moly to see if it still fouls. Maybe I'll try to moly coat a few of my own pills.
Cheers. Malcolm
