don't think many here have shot them and I will wait on some reviews I think

The gun seems to like the 69 gr SMK's and today I shot a couple of .4 and .5 groups at 200 while playing with seating depth. Midway has the 69 gr Nosler CC's on sale for 160 per 1000 so I grabbed 1k of them instead

69 SMK seated .10 off lands and 24.3 grains of Varget @ 200

Nosler CC's have the same length as the SMK so I hope the ogive is similar. I may have to tweak the load slightly, still it should shoot well enough for it's purpose. It is primarily intended as a 300 yard practice rifle. I have shot it at 100, 200 and 600 with 62, 69, and 77 grain bullets and while it has been a solid sub MOA rifle it seems to prefer the 69 grain bullets best.

Still if anyone has shot the Hornadys I would enjoy hearing about how they shoot, that BC is outrageous for a .224 bullet
