Best substitute for 40 gr Blitzkings...

mannyCA · January 29, 2014, 12:04 PM

I've been shooting these through my CZ527 and getting excellent groups at both 100 & 200 yrds with 11.5 grains of w296 seated .005 off the lands and single shoot. They've become scarcer than hen's teeth and have squirrel season coming up and need the best substitute.
Currently I'm using the 40 grain Blitzkings with a flat bottom. I've been looking at the Nosler and Hornady varmints as next best but would like some consensus before I order some for testing.
Thanks.

I'm real fond of the 40 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip. Very accurate in my Ruger Hawkeye, and truly deadly on coyote. Not so good on pigs of medium size or larger.
