Will be very interested in how they do.
What gun will you be using? Hopefully a bigger wildcat ;) but even a 223 will give us good intel.

17 VLD.
Here is report for you on 62s this small sample. Barrel #1 4040-50 no blow ups (this is a slow barrel) .4-.5 5 shot groups shot on 2 differnt days will push it faster in this barrel.Barrel #2 runs 53VMAX at 4400 fps (no lost bullets) Should hit 4200 fps with 62s. Now that being said the 62 did 3x more damage than 53.

What caliber and twist was that, if you don't mind?

Wow
 
223 ai 1-8, 22xc 1-8. Hornday claims they will blow up with a bigger case like the 22-250 ai and the xc
I'll be running the snot out of them in a 22-250AI with an 8 twist 20" barrel.

I'm expecting/hoping for 3500 fps

I'll post any results I have, hopefully this weekend!
 
Guys, don't be getting too excited about Timmy G's report now. He's a special kinda guy with some special hardware. LOL. But it does sound very promising anyway.
@Tim G
 
Post your results with ARC … guessing 4895, H335, 2230, etc will all push that thing near 2960+. I m shooting 80 Blitz at 2920. It’s a .300 bc vs that Hornady published at .395!! That s a big difference.

Was thinking 8208
