I don't compete long range, but I do love to shoot long range and I do love to hunt out to 500-600 That's as far as I can see in NWFL pines and swamps.
For the sake of argument, I'm going to compare 223 95 grain BTHP match bullet to a 95 or 105 Berger VLD H Why the heck can't Sierra, Hornady or Speer make a 223 hunting bullet in 90-95 grains or even a 6mm 100 grain BTHP for hunting?
I red where people who shoot the 224, 90-95 grain SMK's are getting 3300-3450 fps with the right barrel. That would absolutely be devastating on Florida white tail. Take the age old and greatly proven 243 Winchester. I cannot recall ever seeing a 100 BTHP for target or hunting. We all know it can't be because of speed and not expanding. I can make a 115 grain out of one of m 243's do terrible things to a FL white tail at 600 yards.
Am I the only one that is wishing for these bullets?
