[QUOTE="Kansaswoodguy, post: 1150591, member: 83267"] My brother and I have used the 70 grain Barnes bullets in 223 with OK performance if loaded to an accuracy node lower in the powder scale per the Barnes manual they would not reliably open. They would open fine if loaded at or near max book values but accuracy was not really there in our guns. The testing was done in bulistic gel and live game. We have since switched to 55 GMX and no matter where they are loaded per the hornady reloading manual we get good performance of the bullets opening and as an added bonus the point of impact in our guns is the same as the 55 vmax both sub MOA accuracy. Let that sink in we can change bullets with no impact shift and great accuracy. My everyday bullet is the 55 vmax and when hunting season rolls around I simply grab a box of gmx's and head out the door. My load for both bullets is 21gr IMR 3031 CCI 400 COL 2.25" we have used this load in 9 diffrent 223's and all have shot them sub MOA [/QUOTE]
