| What is the best all around hunting bullets for the 223/5.56? |
|
for groundhogs
any decent match round is fine as long as its accurate with a 1/8 yuo can use from 40grain to 80 grain if you are going to shoot deer or bigger then thats a differnt story if you are going to e takign up to 400 yard shots you will likely get the best with 77 grain match or handloads or even 69s |

Mostly for Ground hogs and small game like that, Foxes etc. Also for target shooting. I want to build one using PSA's mid length stainless barrel. ,Realistically about 200-400 yds. I use my Knight KP1 .223 for the same thing. I reload my own ammo but I just use a plain 55 grain Hornady soft point. Works great and it is very accurate. This looks like the factory loading for those bullets - http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/default.aspx?productNumber=366197 This ammo is a much better value though if you are wanting to use factory - http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/default.aspx?productNumber=312291 |

Hornady 53 gr V-Max Superformance. For larger game try anything loaded with Barnes TSX or TTSX bullets. If you got a 1/8 the 70 grainer is about perfect |

The Black Hills V-Max loads are extremely accurate as well.
