Thanks for the info. I'll order some and likely get put on backorder, but sooner or later they'll show up.

These are to use on pigs. As I've mentioned before, the Nosler 55 gr BT isn't quite enough medicine that I can rely on it to put the pig down. I decided to try the Partition, but finally decided that I want the speed I can get with the 55 grainers. That leaves me with the Sierra 55 gr GK and the TSX bullets.

And thank goodness for that Boretech Eliminator. The Swift fouls up a lot more than the 223 does (no surprise there), and I had a lot of copper to remove in 2 days of shooting the 220. And...naturally that brought me around to the question of how bad the Barnes bullets are about putting down copper.
