IIRC I think someone had talked to Hornady and they said to use the 250gr FTX data, which would put Lilgun at the top of the list.

I also don't recall seeing a hair test on them, so if you use them in the field, post some trauma pics ;)

Thank you for the information. I keep seeing the mention of a reloading data base for the group. Is there actually one and if so how do we access it ?

The reloading database that I think you are referring to is over 10 years old. It was set up by the Administrator but quickly disabled when the issue of liability came up. There is a plethora of reloading data spread across this sub-forum but you have to go prospecting for it. Google search does a good job of separating out a specific bullet, powder, primer, etc but you'll no doubt still have to wade through 30-50 threads worth of range reports. A good reloading book is a better bet but keep in mind, it will have been overseen by the company's litigation attorneys. A lot of us put up those range reports over the years, for the benefit of those who follow in our footsteps. You can leave the water sitting out but you can't make them drink. ;)

Glad you're feeling better. It may take a couple weeks for my bullets to arrive, so I'll be following this thread.
