Soft points for 1/7 twist AR rifle

[Sport]

I have a Colt AR with
a 1/7 twist barrel.
Would like to try soft points
in it but have read they don't
work well with that fast of a
spin.
Have any of you found any loaded
soft point ammunition which does
work in your 1/7 twist Barreled
rifle?

I think you'll get more replies in Art of the Rifle.

I found the Hornady TAP 75gr rounds work very well. The bullet is the Hornady AMax which gives devastating expansion on small game.

Stay Away From the Very Light Varmint Bullets

The only problems I'm aware of have been with the very light varmit bullets less then 50 grains. I don't know of anyone who's had problems with any soft points greater then 50 grains.

Thanks!


Would the Hornady 75 grain be suitable
for coyotes?

Kinda heavy for coyotes. I've had good experiences with the Hornady 60gr Vmax. Winchester 64gr power points aren't a bad bullet either if you want a little more penetration.

Sport,

The Hornady 75gr TAP AMAX bullets are perfect for coyotes! Unless, of course, you want to preserve the meat ...

64 gr perfect

I've never had one come apart in flight. I've shot Winchester factory loads plus used the components to assemble my own, at a little less velocity, about 2600 ft/sec. This is a mild but very accurate load I made for deeper penetration on deer.
