I would go with the 70 gr AB. Second choice would be the 64 gr Bonded Solid Base. I'm running the 70 gr AB in my 22 Nosler.

It’s hard to beat the 64gr BSB , it’s one tough cookie.

It's a great bullet. Nosler designed this bullet for a Govt Agency who needed a bullet to go through a automobile windshield or door panel and still take out a bad guy.
It's performance is impressive.

Man, that 64 BSB has been my bullet of choice for the 223 and hogs for a while. Never recovered one, but the sure do punch through and leave a very dead hog between the two holes. When I catch them at SPS on the cheap I stock up. They look like they have the BC of boxcar, but they fly great, for what they are. TAC is a great powder. I've not used it, but I wouldn't hesitate to use the 70 AB. I have some 68 Grain Hammer HHT's that I haven't worked with yet, but I expect great things from them.
