    My two favourite projectiles have been 107 tmk's and 100gr nosler bt's.

    Dabbled with heavier. But even with a longer barrel, the BC of 123 and 130 elds didn't make up for the much lower muzzle velocities. And the useful range ended up being about the same with light & fast vs heavy & slow.

    The new eld-vt's look like they might be worth a try for wallabies and goats. Nice blend of velocity and BC. But I have a heap of those tnts to burn through first.

    Try ar2219 or bm2 for 90-107gr. Bm2 or 8208 for 107-123gr. 8208 or 2206h for 123gr-130gr.
