    Theyre my favourite how many do you want/need and what others in 224 do you have lying around.

    My rifle shoots the 55gr SPBT gameking really well, but have always wanted to try the HPBT after seeing people rave about them. Just enough to see if they shoot well in my rifle really. Maybe 15 to 20 or so.

    I have some Nosler 60gr Ballistic Tip and some Sierra 69gr Tipped matchkings, which dont shoot as well as the 55gr SPBT gameking in my rifle.

    The smk were crap in my rifle, ok at 50 m gone all over the place by 200, so I doubt the tmk will be different. Heaviest I can spin properly are 64 grain winchester, might be interested in swapsies on some nosler. PM me with your details

    Yep, due to that bloody great hole in the end! Not a good BC by any means but if used within the limits they are awesome.
