Ordering some heavies today, generally stick with the HRN 75gr after couple years of testing between it and the 77smk's. I couldn't tell a real world difference in accuracy, but I can say that the HRN has better consistent HP's and perfect weights. Anyways, I see in my Grafs master catalog Nosler appears to have jumped in the game w/o me noticing with their 69gr and 77gr CC hpbt (CC=custom competition). Who has uses these? How do they stack up? Anyone have any on hand of the 77's that could give me a length and a length to ogive. Just curious about these because 250 of them are between 55-60$ depending on weight. Thanks, I have never been a customer of Nosler but would be easily swayed.
 
Ha....some kind of greenish kind that's a PITA to get ahold of.


Sorry, no clue how I clicked on casting.

Can anyone move to reloads please sirs. Thank you....
 
For when this does get moved to reloading, I've used Nosler CC's in 6.5 and 308 and wouldn't hesitate to use them in .224 as well. They generally seem like a pretty good clone of the older SMK design, tangent ogive and all.
