    Does any body know if the 69gn TMK is offered in a factory round for the .223 in NZ?
    I would like to try some through my Vixen for bush hunting.
    I do realize they will not stabilize with my 1 in 12 twist, however I'm thinking under 50m shouldn't matter to much.
    I don't reload, so factory ammunition is my only option at the moment.

    Not in NZ that I've seen. You'd be better off buying some Hornady match with the 73gr eldm and see if they group in your rifle. If they do, you won't be disappointed.
