Re: Berry's 220gr Spire Point For Subsonic Plinking
I have found that out of my 16" and 9" ar's that what is an accurate load for the Berry's bullet is also accurate for the Leatherhead.divedog wrote:I have been looking at those.

The main difference for the Leatherhead is you have to make sure that your case has a decent chamfer so you don't shave the bullet.
Some people bell their cases but I've found that a using a Wilson 45 degree deburring tool will allow me to seat bullets without shaving.

So has anyone tried them yet ? They are $128 per 500 locally, which is quite a bit cheaper than any other bullet since the Amax is gone and its just the ELD now (Roughly $260 per 1000 vs about $360 per 1000 for the ELD 208, making them $100 cheaper per 1K).
I have 1000 Amax coming I found for a decent price, but once that dries up, id rather spend the least amount possible since I just shoot paper and steel with subs.

Nope. Most .308 bullets are .309 to .312. I am not comfortable even at .309 but have had to size some that small.divedog wrote:I have been looking at those.

Guys I eventually did test this product and to keep it short I will not be buying anymore. Accuracy was awful no matter what powder primer combo I utilized. I did make a video for it just did not post it here did not want to waste everyone's time.

would they not hit 6" plates at 50,25 and 10 yards?mr.revolverguy wrote:Guys I eventually did test this product and to keep it short I will not be buying anymore.

I was under the understanding these would be for practice rounds?
