    8mm bullets....OSE brand or Castle Creations?

    Is there much of a difference other than the price tag? OSE says up to 200A and the CC's say 300A, but if they're both 8mm, shouldnt they both be about equal?

    I believe the castles are a little heavier wall thickness

        10s for sure, leo 5698 910 kv and CC 200hv spinnin a x452 now. Will prop up a bit soon, but not much more. 455 or 457 maybe. Its only a few more $$ for the Castles, was just wondering if theres much of a difference.

          After buying multiple packs of 5.5 castles I would rather donate the money to charity. At least someone would get use of my money.

            I have no experience with other manufacturers, but am surprised at the inconsistency of the castles. I am using 6.5 mm and they vary a bunch in how tight they fit.

                Ive come to know that OSE doesnt carry junk. So I think its a safe bet.

                  I've been using the OSE 8 mm bullets for years. On the one occasion some were a loose fit Steven replaced them immediately, no questions asked. Use the OSE.

                    I too have found the Castle's to be a bit inconsistent and have switched to using 8mm bullets from www.cheapbatterypacks.com I don't like taking away business from Steven, but these have much better tolerance batch to batch.

                          The only thing that stinks is I now have everything setup with 6.5 castles and probably better than $60 invested. I'll have to reevaluate before I buy any more
