Slightly off topic, but I went to the 69grn Targex because of their higher BC, lower price and availability. BM2 was ok, but 2206 is great. 3k from 20” barrel (chrono). Warm load (work up) of 26grns.

Great on deer. Have used them out to 300 yds under ideal conditions.
And cheap enough to blaze away at bunnies and small critters.
And they are an NZ product.
