Sierra 65 GK BTSP and H4895 powder is accurate in my Colt AR with 1 in 7" twist. TAC powder does almost as well.

Marking for reference.

Thanks

I'll have to second this one! It's a Silver State Armory offering.

Also at Powder Valley is the 64gr bonded ammo from Silver State Armory, which is owned my Nosler. I shot two boxes of this and wish I had bought all that was on the shelf. Very accurate in two different 1:8 twist rifles.

The 64 gr Speer gold dot kills with authority. We have killed numerous hogs and I have seen it blow through both shoulders of a doe. Any of the bonded or solids should work.

Did you really need that much lead? And the runner was hit in the hind quarter so I don't figure a heavier bullet would've done much better but...

I hate you anyway!

That's a nice set up you have going there.

lol. i get that a lot.

apparently i needed more lead! i figure the bigger the bullet the more chance a hind quarter shot might slow him down.

here's a pretty good one i snuck up on. it was thrilling.



and if you ever get a chance to go on a chopper hunt, i highly recommend it!



i'm going to see if i can kill some tonight. i'm glad i don't have a hunting problem like i used to.

i built my AR-15 to Bushmaster.450. It is a new build, and just now dialed in on targets. I'll let you know how it did after my first kill with it.


An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

The WW 64 grain power point kills well too.
Took my nephew spotlighting hogs at the Ranch one night last week and he killed 3 running in a pack of 4. Two heart shots and one in the head. They were all over 100 lbs each.
I was pretty proud of his shooting with my heavy barrel AR-15 in .556.
He was using the Factory Winchester .223 64 grain Power Point load.

I killed a 225 lb pig at 200yds with a 62 grain Barnes last weekend. Punched through both shoulders. He was dead where he stood.
