I've just purchased my first .223 rifle. 1-8" twist, heavy barrel. I'd like to use it for targets, ground squirrels, and coyote shooting. I need to buy some bullets for it.
I shoot three .222 rifles and a .22 hornet but assume the little 40 grain Nosler BT & Hornady VMax bullets that I have on hand for those rifles are likely not a good match for the new .223's fast twist and higher velocity. What bullet do you recommend as a good all around choice for my new rifle?
