    I used those a lot when I was meat hunting with a .222. Yes, hollow point. They had a good solid bum to them so that held together and penetrated even if the front broke off.

    Shot a lot of Reds with those 52 Gr Sierra Match Grade projectiles. Not quite what they were designed for, but pretty sure they were hollow point. They were bloody accurate,I remember that much

    I'd always been tickled by the idea of hunting deer with a .223 when I first bumped into a fella who did and not long after I bought one and never looked back. Of all the calibres I've owned and...

    Keep in mind the short mag box these rifles have and the fact that longer heavier projectiles with needed to be seated deep. Maybe 1:12 if you want to use 55-60gr flat base? Sent from my SM-A530F...

    I hunt with my 223 often by choice and shoot a lot of deer with it. Love the quietness of it and the added challenge. I tend not to muck around and just shoulder/ chest shoot deer with it. Includes...
