I would like to hunt whitetail with a .223 this year.
I have been hearing some good things about several different controlled expansion bullets:
64 gr Winchester Power Point
65 gr Sierra Gameking
62 & 64 gr Gold Dot
Has anyone had experience with these bullets for hunting? If so, will you please tell us how well they worked?
I’ve worked up some loads for the above bullets in the 2900 to 3000 fps range and have been pleased with the accuracy of each in my Sako Vixen. Now I have to find a way to evaluate the terminal performance of each. I am planning to try to recover some bullets in water jugs.
Meanwhile, I was curious to see of anyone had used these on medium game.
Thanks !!!!
