Thinking of trying these out. Apparently made in Canada? What’s everyone’s experience with them?
Do they make a decent hunting bullet? Or mainly target shooting? Looking to shoot them in the 30.06 or maybe the 300hh.
 
The only round I reload for IPSC. 9mm now and just started getting into .223

Haven't had any issues with accuracy. I usually find 2 or 3 bullets to be undersized out of a bag of 1000 - no big deal. I reload by hand (progressive press), so I catch them anyway.
 
I've had a few bags with 1 bullet not jacketed and a couple of bags with the polishing media stuck in the hollow point. Performance wise they're perfectly fine for competition use in pistols. If you want precision for rifles, I'd look elsewhere.
 
Definelty worth every penny, not suitable for hunting because most of them are FMJ. I'd do penetration test with water jugs before using their hollowpoint, because we all like penetration with energy transfer.
 
They make almost exclusively jacketed/plated bullets. They make ONE .308 bullet that looks like a soft point in the picture, but they still call it an FMJ.

They're one of, if not the cheapest option for plated pistol bullets. They work fine for me, but I'm not shooting for crazy accuracy at long distances.
 
Good for the money. I found them much more consistent than BDX. I use them in 9mm and 357 mag with good results. They did have a new vs old 9mm bullet. I have a box of each and had to call them to confirm. They should have added that to the label as I had to adjust my seating depth for it. ( several years ago )

Their bullets with HP are target hollow points designed to make better circle looking holes when going through paper and a harder smack on steel unlike a tipped bullet which makes a much harder to see hole. They are not designed to be anything like a defensive expanding HP.

For plinking they are the best value in Canada hands down they are not hunting / defensive / presicion bullets but are comparable to other bulk fmj bullets on the market. They also have thicker skins than berry bullets so can withstand higher velocities then berry
 
I have no experience with their hunting bullets, I prefer Barnes in that arena. However, I have been using Campro's 158 CJ bullets in my .357 for years, been through thousands with good consistency
 
Tried their pistol, cheap and that’s it, for rifle 224 you are better off with Hornady bulk, best I can get is 1 moa
 
Their 9mm options seem good for plinking/target use. I started using them this past season when prices on loaded 9mm went a little crazy and I decided to try reloading it. They don't make anything I'd use for long distance rifle target shooting or hunting though.
 
I have been using their 9mm in 147g for a few years now ( 3-4000 rounds loaded and sent down range) . also some .40 sw in 165g.
cheap and easy to use. no issues for me, other then trying to find them , but found a stocking dealer now that moved.
 
I use their pistol projectiles: 9mm, 45acp, and 7.62x25 Tokarev. I admit I'm thrilled to have found a source for Tokarev projectiles. The 115gr 9mm work great in my firearms. The 200gr 45acp ones have a flat nose which is different than what I'm used to but appears to work fine in my 1911.

I hear they sell 110gr 30-Carbine projectiles but I haven't found any yet. I'm going to try the 85gr Tokarev projectiles with 30-Carbine. Wish me luck!
