    .224 Projectiles ID Availability BC

    In the go round I have acquired a few .224 projectiles which I need assistance identifying, sourcing and finding out the ballistic coefficient of. I'm loading 22 Hornet with a deliberately light load of 10grn ADI AR2207.

    Clockwise
    Photo 1: 40grn HP Cannalure Flat base length varies from .503 to .506. I'm finding these particularly good on bunnies. The expand well, punch a good hole, kill well, without unzipping the rabbit from its arse to its elbow. I would like to buy more of these if you have some in your bottom draw.... Australian shooters might be able to point me towards a supplier on that side of the ditch. I recall both Winchester and Norma put out a factory load, hollow point like this, but I'm just after the projectiles.

    Photo 2: 40grn SP (Soft Point? Or Semi Point??) Flat base. Length .500 - .503 I've just just noticed some have a bigger lead tip than others, they measure .520

    Photo 3: 45grn SP (Soft Point? Or Semi Point??) Flat base. Length .566. Labeled. 223 Speer (1011) but there is no 1011 in the Speer Handloading Manual??? Old model perhaps or incorrect label?

    Photo 4: 45grn SP (Soft Point? Or Semi Point??) Flat base. Length .600 - .700. These have the word "Super" but no Brand or BC?
