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.

I have used the Nosler 64gr Bonded Solid Based in a 16" and 18" gas guns, didn't recover any pigs, it was getting late and didn't care to go look. I did find the stripped carcasses a few days later close by.
I also purchased some of these to try in a few different rifles, bolt and gas guns, 16", 18" and two different 22" bolt guns in either 7 twist or 8 twist, 5.56 or 223 Wylde. No range time yet, entirely to hot here. Will report back when I get a chance.
