    I'd have spent my hard earned money on more Zombies myself, but hey, reloading and trying different things is half the fun
    For sure! The Zombies by far are awesome and I'll be buying a bunch more soon.
    Those would be sweet in some black nickel cases...[emoji848]

    Where the heck do you find black nickel?? I've looked everywhere. I wonder if there's a process you can do at home with nickel cases to turn them black?

    I found a company that does the coating, requested a quote to see if it's realistic to do financially.

    I used the Ballistic Silver Tips in my .280 Remington in coughfactorycough Winchester loads. They were simply the most accurate load that rifle ever shot. Unfortunately they were less than stellar on game, they like to explode at the ranges I shoot (typically 20-50 yards). I'm guessing they would work good on longer shots thought.

    I'll play around with these and see what type of accuracy I can squeeze out of them.
