Thread: Real world .223 use

I like those Hornady 55 gr SP/WC bullets in my Mod 7 at 3070 fps. Not sure what speed you would get from a 14.5 inch barrel but it should be enough at the ranges you are looking at. They work well on deer and goats and small game.

I mainly use 55gr Hornady projectiles. Give good accuracy, not sure what speed. Reloads have accounted for over a thousand goats, a good number of pigs and deer.Only been let down a hand-full of times by operator error.Have also used Rem. 55gr core-lokt which also work well.Used in two rifles,an AR15 with 16" barrel and a Winchester M70
