Thread: Absolute Hammers in 222. Rem

I put some 55gr TSX in a mates Vixen. Very tight grouping but he did not like them even though they killed well. Recently ran up some 55gr Game King in another Vixen. Was doing the front lawns and he went past tooting his horn with lotsa deer sticking out of his well side. Got a big thank you text later that day.

Weve tried quite a few 224 bullets on our wallaby trips. Iv settled on the sierra 55 HPbt now. Its affordable for high volume, devastating on small game but can still handle the odd deer. It also doesn't exit on the pigs I head shoot which is a little better when there is a few milling around. . The Nosler 55 BT would be best all round but its just a little more spendy and it will blow chunks out of small pig. The 51gr Hammer AH has the advantage of around 300fps and I like the construction with the deep cavity and long petals.
