Anyone using these? Any idea of cup thickness? I'm trying to find how they compare to, say, KVB-223M, or CCI 450 Mag.
In the off chance they start to show up again before anything else.......

Thanks Graham, I'm told they're favoured by 6.5 Creedmore fans, so it would seem they're pretty much as good as KVB-223M.

2 rfd’s that I have spoken to in the last week have both said that there will be no primers coming into the U.K. in 2023 and part of 2024
