Midsouth Varmint Nightmares

Has anybody ever used these? One of my buddies swears by them but they are awfully cheap. 500 for $43. The have the Barnes Varmint Grenades for a fair price also.

Try 'em. I think you'll like them.

I just started loading these for my Savage 12-FVSS 22-250 and I've had some really good results. I'll probably get better groups once I put more rounds through the rifle and dial in a load. I've only punched holes in paper at 100yd off a bench so far but I had one 5 shot group with a 4 hole 1/2" group and a flier.

I've used about 150-200 and have found that once I set the seating die to the C.O.A.L. that I want (2.350) the finished rounds are usually within +/- .003. I've found they are pretty uniform, bullet to bullet, for only $.08 each.

I wonder what they'll do to a groundhog? Anybody try these on varmints yet?

I used them in a 223 rem with good luck,but in my 22-250 ai with a 1in 9 twist they wouldn't work.Good Luck

I was thinking the 55 grainers would work fine in my AR with a 1 in 9? Any reason why they wouldn't?
