I've got a Winchester 70 HV in .223 that just refuses to shoot a 50-grain bullet. I've got some 53-grain V-Max loaded up for my next trip to the range, but I guess I'm just not too optimistic about them. Hey, I'll try em---you don't know until you KNOW. I can't help but look down the road, though. I'm thinking something like a 69-grain Custom Competition just might shoot in my rifle (1:9 twist). I'm thinking jackrabbits, skunks, and the occasional coyote, and maybe a trip to the Texas panhandle for PDs one of these days.
Anyone wrung these out on targets of flesh?
