I know there are some bullets designed for target shooting that are accepted as a good choice for hunting.
Does the Nosler .223 77gr Custom Competition also meet that challenge?
A 77gr .223 should have excellent BC values and should certainly be accurate - but what will happen when it hits a deer?
The deer will die.
From Snipers Hide Forum:
While not deer, the 69 grain .224 does an explosive job on ground hogs under 100 yards and the 77cc plowed through about 12" of coyote including both shoulder bones and exit was about 2", shot was 250ish yards. I'd do some milk jug testing a few times and see if its expands reliably. Back when they were using J4 jackets (same as berger's hunting line at the time) I'd say go for it. But it’s my understanding they make their own jackets now...
