Hi Seano, powder selection seems to be a problem at the moment in NZ, i use n110 for my subs and 2205 for the supers. 2205 looks like it is available and is good to use for the lighter subs but is great for 125bt supers around 18gr but you will have to work out the load for your rifle( mine is an AR 13.5in barrel 1 in 8.5 and suppressor).
Gunworks seem to have 2205 and have 110gr rn carbine bullets for sale @ $25 for 100, they should feed fine but you never know. Some times on tardme you can pick up old lots of heavy 30cals cheap but this cartridge is getting popular so get in quick.
The BT's($50 for 50) are good for hunting and will take out a large undisturbed deer, as for the sub hunting 240gr sierra MK($60 for 50) have worked well for me in the past as with my rifle combo they are a bit unstable and tumble violently on impact, other users have had them pencil through(remmy bolt gun 1 in 7 20" barrel).
I have loaded up some Lehigh 168cf bullets($103 for 50) and they look to be the business with large cavities in wet cardboard and exploding milk containers ( not like the shotgun slug though ) they are like a little hand grenade after 4" of penetration.
A great fun caliber to shoot, enjoy.
