Hey Guys .

Have been reading a few posts on here about oep projectiles .
Seems to be some people love them some people hate them .
The posts were fairly old and was hoping that there is recent experiences .
I'm looking at the 69 gr bbt for my 243 1/10 twist.

Projectiles are hard to get now days and these seem to very available .

Thanks in advance.

I had a crack with the OEP projectiles with my Grendel, accuracy was more than reasonable I just couldnt get the speed I wanted, thats partly the Howa mini actions fault as longish pills seriously rob powder capacity.

Id say give em a whirl I know Ill be trying them in 2022 in my 6mm if my preferred Bergers are unavailable :drinks:

I think a lot of us are looking at them as a serious option now. Projectile warehouse are clearly on the flog for them - must have a shed full!

I pay more than that for the TSX/TTSX for deer loads, because they're a great bullet, and I don't need all that many of them.

But for most other things I struggle to pay even one dollar apiece for bullets.

G'day fella's

Thanks for the reply's.

Yes i think projectile warehouse must have heaps , there always at reduced prices .
Its a shame they need such a fast twist as i can only shoot 69 gr about of my 1/10 twist , good excuse to rebarrel haha.
$65 for 50 pack probably not to bad for a copper bullet .
Might have to try some .
