I've been using this ammo for ground hogs lately.I was wondering about other guy's experience with this ammo. Sometimes it opens up really nice. other times it seems it pencils through like an fmj. They shoot really well out of my rifle.

I have no experience with those but the fact that you are getting sporadic results from it should be telling you all you need to know. There are too many other good bullets out there to be putting up with a poor performing bullet.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.

I hear you!. However they are the only soft points I have on hand. I'm a handloader, so as everyone knows components are hard to come by. The 223 was a recent buy. It's a caliber I never had so I never loaded for it.
