Does anybody know if Winchester's 64gr. bullets (used in their Razorback XT in .223) are available as components?

The bullet used in the Razorback XT .223 ammo is lead free. Similar to the Barnes TSX or the Hornady GMX bullets..... but slightly different.

Midway had an overrun on sale at one time a couple weeks ago, but I believe they sold out almost immediately. I would call customer support and try that. They are not usually available.

It seems like you would need a mighty fast twist (1:7 or 1:9 ??) to stabilize such a long bullet.

Has anyone gotten good accuracy out of a 1:12 twist?

Probably not.

They're designed for faster twists.

Not haveing the lenght of the Rem bullet, I ran a Barnes 62gr TSX in my twist program and found that it still took 1/10" @ 5000fps. They might work in a 1/12" 22-378 Weatherby at 7000fps.

Jumping in late on this thread . I have had poor accuracy with the razorbacks . I do have a 223 1/12 twist I would assume its partially to blame. Do any of you find it troubling that shooting a less than accurate round at critters makes no sense? I live in CA. and these are a legal option. I would rather shoot what works based on merit not hype...Still looking for a straight flying lead free bullet. If anyone has found a decent load for a 1/12 twist please pass it on thanks.

Try the Barnes 45gr TSX, and push it fast.

I get very good accuracy out of my Ruger M77 22 Hornet using the 45gr XLC. With 13.0grs of Lilgun, I'm at 2,900fps. When I run out of XLC's, I'll switch to TSX's.

Thanks I will try to round some up. Do you have a 1/12 twist in the Ruger 22 Hornet? ... The twist program notes are helpful thanks for the info. My little single shot shoots v-max and hollow points like a dream. Just need a lead free to be legal.

If that last mythical condor ever dies and you can use lead again, the Nosler Bonded Performance bullets are pretty accurate and pretty tough.

I don't really think all that much lead ends up in gut piles from deer and pig hunting. Even on good years I don't shoot a lot of bullets . spray and pray isn't my type of shooting at critters. . . I did like the CT ballistic silver tip in 223. I don't always use a 22cal for deer and pigs. Just want a good option when I do. So I will keep searching for the right recipe.
