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.

Nice shooting Howie.

25.5 grs of TAC is what I used in my 223 bolt rifle with the BSB.

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.
