    Heavy .223 pills

    As the title suggests, I'm after some heavy 223 projectiles, so far have only found stuff around the 62gr weight. If anyone has some surplus or, know where some are that would be great.

    Cheers

    Just curious what are they intended for. I've found for hunting i think that 77 is about as heavy as you can realistically go. Beyond that the bullet takes up too much powder capacity and the weight advantage is somewhat lost with lower velocity and terminal performance compromised.
    Of course if you are talking 22/250 with a fast enough twist then what I just wrote is nonsense
