Does anyone know who makes the "varmint nightmare" bullets that midsouth sells, in particular the 50gr sp. I compared one to a hornady 50gr sp and they are quite different. Thanks

I'm just curious. Just how are Varmit Nightmare and Hornady 50 grs sp quite different?

They are made by Winchester/Olin.

The shape of the ogive is different between the two, the hornady also has about .070 longer "bearing" surface (the part of the bullet that's .224 dia.) than the var. nightmare. The hornady's weigh a few tenths over 50gr and the other weighs right at 50gr.

Thanks! So I should use load data for a winchester 50gr sp.
