    Always sworn by 65gr Sierra but we have been using 55gr Barnes tsx in T3 19in using BM2. Has 8 twist and the deer are dropping like anchors.Probably buy 6 packs at Sika Show.

    2208 (Varget) seems very popular in hte States for the 77g, but when I tried it in my 18" barrel it was way too slow. ShooterNZ has pointed out its best for LOONG barrels

    I went back to BM2. 22.8g give 2670 fps with the 77g, and 24.5g gives 2860 with the 69's. Both loaded to 2.26
