Sierra 65gr sbt Gameking may be your answer. Excellent bullet.Not tried them. Have tried two 62 grain bullets and they both under 1 moa.

Hey Darryle,Don't get me wrong, I am impressed, it's the damage to the shoulder meat when hitting bone. Those that hit the sweet spot behind the shoulder see very little of that excessive damage, but you are correct, it absolutely destroys the internal organs.
I want a bullet that has our current long range bullet accuracy with the properties of the older soft point bullet's ability to make a small entrance, mushroom to twice or more it's original diameter and hit the light switch on the way out with very little to no wasted meat.
Might want to take a look at the Maker bullets "T-Rex bullet if you haven't seen them. It sort of looks like a broadhead once it opens up. I have some for the .375 Raptor that I am building. They ought to work pretty well from the photos I have seen.They apparently also don't care about how much meat is wasted.
Not saying it's not possible, hunted with a guy who use a 22lr or 22 WMR, killed just about everything that walked here locally and in Louisiana.
To each his own, I want a bullet that acts like a mechanical broadhead, slices cleanly thru and you can literally watch them bleed out within a few yards and destroys little to no meat.
One of you knuckleheads take my idea, develop and patent it and we'll make you rich![]()
No. But, I shot the 85.5 LRHT, amd while groups were insane @ 3096fps, they did not kill like the 77TMK did. Although, to be fair, a prairie dog has very little resistance to open a bullet. I did not get an opportunity to test them on coyotes.Have you tried any 75 gr or 88 gr ELDM's yet Lance?
Wrench over at RS had some good results using RDF's in his 6.5 CM. I may get some 22 cal RDF's next 2nd's are available. But they might work better at your velocities.No. But, I shot the 85.5 LRHT, amd while groups were insane @ 3096fps, they did not kill like the 77TMK did.

I switched to the 90SMK @ 3095fps and holy cow. Accuracy is just as good as the 85.5 Hyb, and they work great on coyotes and jackrabbits. And thump steel pretty darn good out to 1K.
My pleasure. Good luck!Thank you for doing that. I appreciate the added data for my continuous pondering on this discipline.

I'm confused. Most say the little. 223 isn't "enough gun", but yet it "wastes too much meat"?.......both of those can't be true.

If .22 call were legal for elk in wy I would use a 22 creedmoor. They aren't so I use a 6mm. Worked great this year.
