Years ago I demolished hundreds of rabbits with them, and not one of them complained that I was using match bullets. The 53 flat base proved to be a little more accurate in a couple of 22/250's, but again the rabbits did not complain.

The only thing to watch out for is that some rifles do not shoot well with boat tail bullets. You may also find that if you change from BT to FB bullets there can be a considerable shift in point of impact.

HPGS have them, seen them there on thursday. $99/500, though had no 52gr HPBT(which i also use). From memory had soft points in 55gr and 50gr, Blitzking in 55gr.
Was going to buy some but they wern't what i really wanted, when you work out that they are $20/100, not much difference to buying 100 at $26.00 for what i do want.
