Started doing some work with them in my 6x45 and didn't get them to do anything better than 2 MOA - I'm guessing they're wobbling. I've been trying to figure out a way to snip the points off - ebay keeps sending me emails to come back to look at pencil sharpeners. I guess it's hit or miss with them as I bought 2k of their .224 Premium Mix a few months ago and all of the soft points (mostly 62 and 75 gr Gold Dots) were in great shape. The 243 80s look like Speer Hot Cores but they aren't - I have a bunch of those to compare. I did manage to get 1k of .224 50 gr Hollow Points for $80.74 tonight when their email went out and just before they sold out. Likely TNTs.
I had a similar experience w the 100 sg BT SP where 40 percent of the bullets are near a loss w badly deformed points. Decided to give the pulled 95 gr fusions a try as well as 80 gr fb sp. 500 each. Well the 95 gr fusions along w the 80 gr sp showed up today, Happy to report these are much more like what I would have hoped for.
If they do not work out well for the 6mm arc they should do well it the 6mm Remington. I am confident they will make fine hunting & varmint ammo. Optimistic these will work well for both.
