Heavier .223 bullets in a suitable fast twist barrel retain energy better at longer ranges, and for this reason I'd say the Hornady 60 gr. would be fine for what you want to do. I'm using factory...

50 grn zmax for varmits and 50 grn barnes for big stuff works for me...that 55grn bulk stuff works good. if you are going to load .223 with close to 80grn projectiles you may aswell run a .243

260 is a wicked calibre. If you get one you won't be disappointed. Looking to either flog mine or rebarrel only because of lack of time to reload and not having my own gear. If that wasn't a factor I...
