Not available up here in Canada - at least not yet. TSXs, Hornadys and Partitions are most common here. My plan is to use it as a "walk-about brush gun", for scouting, etc. That being the case, a premium 225gr in a TSX, Partition or AccuBond will get the nod at ~ 2700 fps.

Bob, that 225 TSX, AB and Partition are all awesome bullets, just as you mentioned. Run them 2700-2800 and just watch stuff take a nose dive. I love the Accubond myself outta that weight range but I’ve been working with the 200 TTSX and that sucker leaves nothing to be desired at 2900 FPS.
