Haven't had a chance for a long time to look around a well stocked gunshop at leisure. Looking for the Federal 40 grain Blitz ammo in 223 I'd heard was so effective as antipersonnel ammo. Didn't find it, but I did find boxes of Federal 55 grain Trophy Bonded ammo at $19.95 a box of 20.
Is this for what I think it is for or am I jumping to conclusions. I always thought that the Trophy Bonded bullets were for game, pure and simple.
In Nevada, though, I don't think 22 centerfires are legal to hunt game with. Maybe the ammo is for protection or police situations, or maybe for coyote.
Would this make a 223 marginally adequate for carefully placed shots on game ( deer and black bear ) in emergency situations? I've got a Colt Lightweight sporter and a CZ 527 Mannlicher stocked 223 with a 4 power scope.
So what do you guys think this ammo makes a 223 good for in a exigent situation?
