Me too. I know you like the 53 TSX, which I need to use on something like on a pig trip, but that 62 is the shiznit. I need to find a Vixen action, a SS pencil tube with a 1-8 twist. Prolly just steal a stock from my pard.... Oh, bettin 1-14  A 1-12 would be encouraging, least for the 53 TSX. My 1-14's barely run the 50 XLC's; the 53's are a little erratic to hit meat with.

You wouldn't have a chance to ever shoot some of these if I didn't have that worthless stuff sitting around. Besides too old to collect and nice having pretty unfired shet on the range

I got the 53 gr TSX to shoot well in my wifes Rem722 with a 1 in 14 twist... But you and a couple others have me kinda scanning the AO for a 1 in 10 or 1 in 8 tube to stick on a .22-250 and drive some 62 TSXs.... Thinking about a build...a " Campfire Rifle" of sorts... Ingwe

As a side note, I'm thinking of buying a 22 PPC barrel for someone to put on a somewhat valuable 6 PPC gun........
Hard on collector value, but no damn fun otherwise.

The ones I've recovered (not from any critters) show a nice frontal face and a heck of a lot of shank to push it through.
Just exits on the critters, all out of proportion, really.
I'm sold....

Ive only recovered one of the 53Grainers from a critter( after right on 20+ kills..) and it looks like it came out of a magazine ad... But Im hearing the sirens song of the 62, thinkin I could squeek a little more range out of it....  Ingwe

I had you in particular with the 22-250.
You need to 1-8, then Ack the 22-250's. Now THAT sounds like phun!
Really trying to beat my pard to a Forester action (he'll beat me), borrow the Rocket reamer and slap a 1-8 pencil tube on it....
