Estate rifle cartridges

does anyone use them? I have used the shot-shells and really like them. I saw they were making hunting ammo using Speer hot-core bullets and picked up a few boxes very cheap. I bought some for bear \ deer in the 270 and would like to know how they worked for someone else - haven't shot these yet.

    What are they? Is that a name brand?

    I was'nt aware they were making rifle cartridges. I've used there shot shells though and liked them.
    Their shot shell will reload nice if you use a 1oz clay buster wad and 1 1/8 of 7 1/2 or 8 size shot.

    If you ain't got a sesne of humor you got no business bein here!

    I have used them in30-06 and 7 mm rem mag. They are great and about the cheapest on the market. Getting them, is a pain lately, as you have to wait until they produce enough for a shipment . Slow!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I have cases on order.

    I bought 2 boxes of 30-30 off gunbroker about 4 months ago. Love it! The old Marlin seemed to love the stuff, and for the price, can't go wrong. I am anxious to try it out this fall, but it punches paper really well.

    Taxation WITH representation isn't so hot either!

    Binder - have you tried www.natchezss.com ? I bought some 7mm mag for dad at $10.65 a box but they are currently out of stock. The 30-06 was 6.99 - 8.01 and they have it available.

    Yankee - Estate is the name brand but they are better known for shot gun shells which, as you see, most people would recommend. I plan to shoot some 130 and 150 grain cartridges from my 270 but only after I zero my new scope in with some more familiar ( to me ) ammo first. I have a CZ 550 that has shot anything I put into it very well so I imagine these will work too. Does anyone have any deer\ bear \ pig hunting experience with the hot core bullets they use? From the spec's and description it seems like they ought to be great.
