If you like low weight bullets Sierra has a 135gr with boat tails.

Nosler has 220bt

Well I have 500 110gr and 500 125gr that are flat based. I'll figure out a way to get them to work. This is
Ballistics, not Rocket Science!!

I'm also going to try some of the light .224 35-50g bullets using a sabot.
Those will fly at up to 4000fps! Concern is whether they will work the action.

Just curious, have you tried running them backwards? It may be worth trying a few at different distances.
Just a thunk

H has data for it then. Some Speer 110s don't show in their book or online.

Lyman caters to Hornady and Sierra , Hodgdon has the heavier Speer
