[QUOTE="Kansaswoodguy, post: 2400310, member: 83267"] Well it depends for me my distances are known and I never change them so I’m just figuring out wind normally so the heavy bullets are great on my 1000yd range. I also use 50-55gr vmax some for varmints out to about 400yds. I like the 53gr vmax quite a bit I’ve shot a 2” 5 shot group at 400yds out of 16” barrel AR with those bullets. For deer hunting with 223 I use 55gr GMX just depends on what I’m doing as to what bullet I choose and what gun for that matter. I have AR’s sighted in for 55gr bullets and others sighted in for 75/77gr bullets. My 24” bull barrel pretty much just shoots the heavy bullets. One of my 16” AR’s with a 1-12 twist WOA barrel only shoots 55gr. [/QUOTE]
