    Are you just looking for some to do some testing or full boxes?
    Can send some of the speer 70gn for testing, don't expect great speed as the shape means you can't set them out very far because of the shape. But they do the job at the work end.

    some for testing would be awesome, keen to try a few in the 222, but expect it won't do that well, but mainly to try in the 22 CHeetah. Plenty of room in that one!

    needs a faster twist rate than my 1:14, so won't work for me.


    I've got a couple of options to try now, thanks everyone.
