Picked up a box of these at a gun show this weekend thought I would try them out . I like to support guys like this . He wasn't selling them cheap but it must be hard for the small guy to compete on prices ?
Anybody heard of these bullets or better yet have a review or comments ?
 
Dale makes very good bullets. I know him personally, and have shot long range with him.
His match bullets are very accurate, and any of his bonded bullets I have used have stayed together well.

Just made reloads with these bullets in 7 mm 168 grain , next to Berger vld hunting 168 gr . Same accuracy at 100 yds ( very good )
There's a bit more tapper in the chinchaga, measuring with my foster datum gauge it went 30 thou longer bullet OAL to get the ogive at the same spot to the landings . I'm going out when the wind dies down to see how they compare out to 500 yds then true the bullet coefficient in my ballistic program
 
i found in my 284 win, the 168 chinchaga rbthp shot as well or better than the 180 bergers out to 1200 yds, and they are much cheaper at current prices. I will shoot them as long as he makes them.
 
I'll stick my 0.02 c in. I have used them and found them to be accurate. Dale competes in long range shooting and uses what he sells. I have met him once but spoke several times on the phone with him and find him to be a stand up guy. I like to support local whenever possible and will continue to buy from him. He is on this forum ... (chin.. something...) so look him up and pm him. He would be happy to give you some information

I looked it up - chinbullco
 
I have shot his 300 gr x .338 steel tipped bullets and I would agree with previous statements that they easily match if not even slightly outperform Bergers at long distances. I will definitely be getting more.
 
Worth every penny. I'll bet you'll be hard pressed to find a manufacturer who handles each and every bullet from raw material to telling you all about them at the gun show.
 
There are good bullets. And yes I have shot lots. He, using his bullets, shot the chain off my metal target, at a mile. He is smiling now......
