[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2242938, member: 91783"] I learned the hard way on match ammo also . It is very accurate but the hollow point is kind of small so it opens slowly and makes a pass through on smaller thinner animals , the jackets are a little thicker on most of them and the lead core is a different alloy intentionally so that they don't open up on the paper targets so it takes a little more for them to work well on a coyote or fox sized animal but they may work ok on deer and larger animals . A few weeks ago I sent Reemty a picture of some different 223 bullets that showed this well I don't have that photo as they shut down that phone but will set those bullets up and send a photo to Butterbean to see if he will post it here . The hornady line of ammo that they sell for us to shoot at a less costly amount of money is mostly loaded with their match grade of bullets and at a lower velocity they are pretty accurate and fun to plink with but I don't much like them for coyote . I will use my 30-06 with some 125 grain winchester ammo and some 125 grain nosler ammo but for my main fur and killing bullets I load 55 sierra game king bullets , they are a boat tail hollow point bullet , in my 223 running them at around 2900 fps mv .
