I bought a box of these to test in my Rem 700 5R 20" barrel. I will report. Sounds like a great Texas whitetail bullet within reasonable range.

I wouldn't mind more bullets in different calibers. BC wouldn't be at the top of the scale, but I'm betting they'd all be a heck of a hunting bullet!
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Externally they look like a Swift A-frame....not noted for BC...but an excellent hunting bullet nonetheless....

And yeah, you are right about the BC not be9ing a big deal, especially in a .22....I personally am not comfortable with shots on big game much past 300 yds with a cf .22
The 64 grainer has enough BC to make those shots...( and 99% of my deer and antelope have been within 300 yds..)

I'd love to see a 6mm version. Honestly, most of my shots are within 150 yards.

No Schitt! You have " sprayed bullets indiscriminately" as the press would say....

It makes a fella sad to have no freedom to access said bullets any way, any how. Your Homeland Insecurity would hog-tie and hang my butt like I'd been caught with the Sheriff's daughter if they caught me with them trying to come home. So I had to settle for theses little copper pills in the 22-250AI. I sure hope that the bust the crap out of a blackie b'ars shoulders for my little girl. Ingwe, you mentioned problems with the 45gr TSX's not getting up and going? I've 40.5gr stuffed behind those little buggers, so they better break 4000.....

I thought hollow points were illegal up there eh? Have you clocked those 45s? Id be anxious to know if they are steaming. Im coming up to Alberta next month, maybe I could smuggle some 64 gr. Noslers ....

You meant travel with your lead and copper supplements right? They averaged 4125fps over the chrony into 1" for 5 shots. It is likely to try and dump its first black bear this Monday. But I really want to try the 200gr TSXs out of the .350...oh the dilemma. The platform is a precious thing that I believe would love some 64's. It is a gift from a very sick friend, Monashee on the 'fire (he can use prayers and encouraging messages right now folks). If I happened upon some 64's I would be happy to see what they would do out of a 22-250AI and post the results.
