    .224 50 gr GMX performance?

    Midway has these as a component on clearance as it looks like they are being discontinued. Only real info I could find on it was that Hornady loaded it and marketed it as a wild hog load rated at 3300 fps. It’s a solid copper bullet with a hollow point.

    Wondering how this would compare to the 50 gr. Barnes TSX. My guess is probably not as consistently good, but comparable?

    I have not used that projectile, but really like what the GMX does from my .270 win. Recovered from a rear antelope femur following a square on frontal shot from 365 yards. First bullet I have recovered, muzzle velocity approx 3190 FPS.

    I don't know much about them, but I just bough some! For the price, especially now, and the fact that they are available makes them quite appealing. From what it seems they should perform very well.
