Hi guys :) Has anyone tried the 32gr Nosler lead-free bullets alongside the lead ones? I'd be very interested to know how they went.....
Many thanks for any input, Richard Utting :)

I've use them in both .204" and .224" and can't tell any difference from the lead-core BT's. Ground squirrels, magpies, rock chucks don't seem to know the difference either. :mrgreen:

Accuracy is just as good, really can't tell any difference and use the exact same load data to boot.

Glad to hear that RIO, as I have some coming in 204 and was wondering about them myself, but ordered some to try.. So now I will see how they work for me. Your info is timely.. BIll K :)

I just ran a 100 rounds through my Remington 700 SPS at squirrels in Northern Calif. this past weekend and they worked as well if not a little better upon impact,lots of parts flying through the air,dynamic expansion!

Are you afraid skippy may die of lead poisoning?? Just kidding, I know kalifornicator requires lead free. Just glad we don't have to shoot lead free here. I think I am getting more anti-establishment as I age.

Kalifornia only requires lead free bullets, in certain areas. i.e Condor zone.. Dumb, but that is the way it is.. Bill K :huh:
