G;day all,
they shoot great in my 22BR, 10 thou jammed in and get about 3200fps. They seem to be reasonably popular at the VRA shop but the Berger 80.5FB out sell them. These two projectiles are the most popular.
hope this helps

Yes I certainly concur that they go great in a 22BR with 8" twist, no problem with stability.
