I really like these Sierras. Very accurate in my rifle and very destructive in the piggies.

Those SMKs can work great or the can icepick. The newest versions that are being released with the closed nose are no bueno on game.

Tried both of these initially. It grouped the PPU’s better, very well actually

65 Grain Sierra Gameking or 64 Grain Nosler BSB over H4895.

Whatever is in the magazine when I see one

Well my Ar likes the 75 grain BTHP and so that is the bullet used. I got myself a Grendel upper because I had more than a few hogs get far enough away to be impossible to find after dark with body hits from my 5.56. However with CNS hits the 5.56 works as well as bigger rounds. Still the 5.56 is in not in the same league as the Grendel. This said whatever gun I have handy will get trigger time if a hog gives me a shot. Especially in the summer time.

62grn Barnes TTSX! IMO One of the best if not the best for hunting reasonable ranges with a 5.56/223

I actually found 6 boxes of these at Cabelas and really like them so far

Reload myself.

hunt safe.....

22gr Nosler BT? Do you mean 55gr Nosler BT?

Ive killed them with a number of bullets out of the .223 I make it a point to shoot them in the brain to avoid tracking chores in thick cover.
Heres a few Ive used...55gr Barnes TTSX,63 gr. Sierra SMP,60 gr NBT,55 gr Gold Dot, 62 gr. Barnes TTSX,50 bgr. Hornady sp, 55 gr Hornady SP w/c

For what its worth, with the brain shot the 55 gr Hornady SP works just fine, is cheap, accurate, and easy to find ( even nowadays)

Heres one that caught a 55 gr. Hornady...note bullet placement...
