CZ, they fed fine for me. It's not a bullet I would plan on using in my ARC, so when they didn't work in 6x45, I just loaded them up with a random lght load of CFE 223 I'm looking to burn up for fireforming. It actually did quite well on an 8" spinner at 300 yards once I figured out the dope - it was my first session with Rubin and it definitely put a big smile on my face.
I had bought a box locally to see if it could be a high volume practice bullet in 6x45 given the price. I used Benchmark but my guess is it's simply too fast of a powder for a 90 in a necked out .223 case. They probably would work with a slower powder I don't have since I'm well stocked with the powders I use and don't want to add another to the list. Sierra had data for AA 2495 for them and I was tempted since I have a partial pound, but what I have is dedicated to my stash of 75 gr Gold Dots I load for my 5.56 pin and weld (and keep in a very handy location).
