I still have a reasonable amount of the old Aussie Win Powerpoint style truncated cone 40gr subsonic ammo, this was some of the best you could get from my experience if your rifle liked it. It was quite soft and could have an issue with shaving the pills in semi, but went very well in bolt guns. I'm hoarding what I do have, never get that again!

like yourself i never ever had any problems with either WIN HV powerpoint or rabbit ammo in my M14 stirling B/a or Toz17.this absobloodylutely deadly on possums -holes you could reach into and both literally stopped rabbits in their tracks .one i remember vividly I bowled him a over kin midair as he hopped over a log .when we examined him couldnt find a bloody hole ????skinned provided the answer -a sheer fluke round entered arsehole removed part of spine and turned the boiler room into a batch of badly made raspberry jam with a lead weight in middle.yehah a classic texas heart shot which Ive never been able to repeat! yepI can see why youre hoarding those rounds ,Id do the same. my next mission-a big snarling buck jacko with a 3"12guage load-a sure cure for the reproductive urge!
