I'm switching all my guns to the TC design bullet in lever and bottom feed guns . This bullet design feed smooth and flawlessly in all lever and bottom feeders and is made in most cal like 9mm , 38 , 40 and 45 . This 180 TC has the same POI as the Factory ammo .

If you like to roll crimp this is a good design in 38 and in super hot hunting loads this crimp is best .

If you taper crimp [ I prefer ] this is a better design for target and light hunting loads .

I just shot my first 50 rounds of Remington 250 gr Lead Round Nose in the rifle and I'll tell you what, they shot great. Feed was smooth, and they left some large exit wounds in the target board. They are not completely round, but flattened off a little. No issues, I'll shoot them anytime.
They are also $5/box cheaper here than the Winchesters. I intend to clean out my LGS next week. 8-)
