In regaurd to bullet deflection, Greame Wright is going to do some tests at home in relating to this subject. He has a free standing target frame with dowel on it like ribs but very close together that he will shoot through at different distances from the target with different types of projectiles to try and get a controlled comparision.

To date these actions feed Hydro's just fine.

Brno 602 in 404
CZ 550 in 9.3x62
Ruger M77 in 338 Win Mag

My Brno 600 in 9.3x62 will only feed them from the left hand side of the mag.Nothing Tony Small cant fix when he has time.

Matt you are a "Barnes Man" and thats fine.
For mine even if the Woodlieghs are no better ( which I think they are ) I will use them because they are Australian.

Cheers Neale.
