I found some at Midway, anybody use them in .223? Been a while since I've used flat base bullets. Have a Rem700 1 in 12 twist that's not been all that, the only bullet that works decent so far has been 52gr SMK so I thought I'd try something different.

I've used them....both 9 twist
223 AI & Savage Predator
They ain't as flat as the 53 V max......
Use 'em on p'dogs occasionally...
but the 53 V max is superior in my shooting
buy 'em.....they ain't milk & gonna spoil

Thanks, they're already on the way. Mostly use this gun less than 200 yds.

I use them in my 10 twist 223. They shoot just fine in it. Ive a 12 twist Remington model 7 with a 20” barrel I just picked up. Haven’t tried em in that one yet.

I have shot the 55 grain Varmageddons in my .223 Remington 700. It was around 2" at 100. For my shaky hands i figured that was pretty good.

They flat out shoot out of my 20in JP AR. Shot a .5 in 3 shot group at 300 yds with Benchmark and cci41s.
They separate pdogs pretty good too lol.

if its good on a prairie dog, its even better on sage rats..turns them into what looks like Pizza toppings... the local coyotes and birds love what they do to the sage rats...
