[QUOTE="BigNate, post: 2419118, member: 301"] My favorite fur saving bullet for 223 was the Speer 52gr HP #4708 I tried a lot of different bullets for fur, but those were the most consistent minimal pelt damage. Light ballistic tips did ok, the TNT and blitz were good at lower velocity like out of a contender. They come apart if they are spun too fast or driven to fast out of the 22-250. The Hornady 75gr HP was the best in the quarter bore. The 243W was inconsistent damage wise. Had some good ones with NBT and even light TSX. Then the next would leave a huge hole. The Barnes varmint grenade was awful. This was over about 30 years. I still have several thousand of the Speers on hand, haven't used everything of course. [/QUOTE]
