white hots

I was wondering about white hots saw on cva web site in the movie part they used these 3 of them so 150 grains i think, has anyone tried them and how are they?

I tried 2 and a half boxes of them. They are accurate but the crud ring is still there :cry:

I think with maybe winchester 777 or remington kleanbore primers, that crud ring would go away but i cant say for certain.

I use winchester primers they are in the blue box doesnt say if they are 777

No those would be the W209's. I tried them and the crud ring was pretty good. Almost fired a load with the bullet being off the charge!

This may help give you some info,

I've used them before and I will agree that they are accurate but very dirty. The crud at the bottom of a breech plug is unbelievable.

Blackhorn 209 I found is the best although I do like using Triple Seven but (do not use the triple seven primers, they are very dirty as well.

Blackhorn 209 with Fiocchi 616 primers are what I like
