    Depends on your application and range.
    I’ve used the 55 grn out to 300 yards on deer no problem. Kills them proper.
    Barnes can be tricky to get to shoot. TTSX 55 grn worked with 27grn 2208, so I’ve just stuck to it.

    Forget the acronyms...BC, SD, G7 and whatever. Hunting deer with a .223 out to 300 yards they mean nothing.
