The .35 Rem Marlin will do about 1½" inches at 100 with the first handload I tried. I wasn't sure how TAC would do in a moderate pressure round, but the velocity variation is extremely low. So that's done.

The .218 Bee is running 50gr Ballistic tips at 2950 fps. The rifle shoots well - 5 in 7/10". So I reckon it will be the head shot rifle.

Also shot the .300 RUM, and it did well, but it's a bit much for pigs smile
