I'm pleased you are trying these, Goosic.

You will definitely wring the most out of them, I know that!
Some like to crimp these because of the shorter bearing area on the case, but the rebated boat-tail works extremely well.
As you know, this bullet and the D-46 have been International winners in Olympic competition, and winners "at home' in Finland since the 1930's.
This style of bullet went through a long and painstaking development process, and the rebate does remove most of the problems that can occur with boattails.
Looking forward to seeing your results!
Richard.
