[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 277749, member: 15748"] Hey Dave, Varget wouldn't be my first choice for the lighter bullets in the .223, but it's an excellent choice for the heavy bullets in this cartridge. I'd suggest trying H322 as a better choice for the lighter bullets here, understanding of course that right now it may come down to what we can get our hands on! Also, the Hornet bullets aren't just shorter; they're made with extremely thin jackets, and designed to expand at the 2,000 fps range the Hornet delivers. Push it at what the .223 is capable of, say 3,400-3,500 fps and it will be very explosive. Maybe too much so if you're looking for saving pelts. They're also strictly short range bullets due to their rather poor ballistic shape and resulting low BC. Try some of the 50-55 grain bullets if you want to stretch the range out a bit.
