    So, just to ask the question what is considered the best bullet to run in a 1-8 twist restricted mag length .223 rifle, is it still the 65 grain gameking or have others surpased it?
    I'm trying to get to heaven before they shut the door.

    For big heavy stags yes, otherwise use the 55g Gameking code #1365
    A big fast bullet beats a little fast bullet every time

    Red Stags??
    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.
