    The cheapest and best option is Hornady product 2266B. Its the 55gr softpoints. Have been using them for 10+ year in 223, and now in 22 250AI. And with right placement will even kill big reds.

    In 223 i push them with 2208,W748,CFE223 depending what i have on hand. But even at 3800fps out of the AI it drops fallows on the spot with a crease shot. (Think ive only headshot reds with it) but ive shot reds with it in 223 and works fine, so have heaps of others
    If you can't kill it with bullets, dont f*ck with it.
