OK, how about this one, does anyone have any experience with a 55 gr GameKing on fur? I just got a double batch to try in my .222
I should state the new deuce has a 1 in 9 twist Bbl so it will stabilize 55 grain anything...

I'd be surprised if it's rough on fur. Especially at .222 velocities. It doesn't even ruffle feathers on crows. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/y8GBp1v/2875644-B-BF4-F-4685-90-FB-F398-F4-AE01-A7.jpg)

Yep at 222 velocity it won’t open up much unless you hit bone

Just fine. Dime size or less exit out of a 223. Little bigger from the hot .22s
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

I used H335 with Rem 7 1/2 for coyotes and cats with usually a nickel hole through them. H335 is a very, very accurate powder in the 222 with 50-55g bullets, use the Rem 7 1/2.

I shot a couple of fox with it out of 22-250…. Very rough on them. Out of 223 it wasn’t too bag on yoties.

They should work good from a 222 I’ve had large entrance wounds on coyotes and no exit with a 220 swift. Some of them blew up like a ballistic tip. Head shots on pigs were DRT. I have loaded the 65 grain now but haven’t tried them on game. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/xnh6Scxk/C12-C40-FA-3-A17-4697-84-F1-DF017122-CE5-E.jpg)

. Head shots on pigs were DRT. Good to know, some of mine will be used for exactly that....
