Got these in the mail yesterday. Loaded up a handful of the RNSP with 70.5 grains of Win 760. I’m going to call it good at 50 yards. The Ruger Hawkeye did pretty good. Can’t get to the FMJ’s till later this week. Very comfortable shooting rifle.

Took a magnet to them, there is a slight pull towards the bullet but won’t stick or pick up. Not like the 9.3 300 gr DGS’s if got from hornady. I may just sacrifice one and saw it in half just to see what the core looks like.
 
Just an FYI Sierra game king and match king are gentle on AR 500 steel plates. Go lighter weight ½"x 8" so it can be knocked out of the way. The bigger plates are less resilient at 50 & 100 yards, but would work further out. PPU is tough on steel. Grand slams are not as gentle as Sierra.
 
Like a lot of us, I grabbed quite a few because they were available during the shortage. Can't
beat them for practice while saving the A-Frames and TSXs for hunting. Both my 375 HHs, BRNO 602 and Win M70, like them with about 72 gr of H4350.

Hi Jon,
I saw your post for the .500 NE cases. Are these all brass or are they nickel plated? Hard for me to tell... sorry.
Thanks,
