[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 657309, member: 30671"] Hello Tim, Kind of reviewing your articles with an eye toward 223 bullets. I found your thoughts on the 60 grain V-Max here, and it looks like one to try. My question is what has been your experience with the heavier bullets in 223 Remington? I just got started with a Tikka T3 Scout, 20" barrel, 1-8 twist. Very limited testing, but I believe it shows a preference for the Hornady Match 75 BTHP, over the Superperformance 53 V-Max. The wind has been up, and variable every day I've had time, and most of the difference is horizontal, not enough rounds to call it yet, but with the 1-8 twist I suspect heavier will shoot better. The roughly 600 fps between the 2 has to be a factor in terminal performance as well. So is there a heavier bullet that retains some of the splat factor in this caliber? [/QUOTE]
