The .223 Rem for varmint hunting, and range play

[Because 'Merica]

I always like using 40gr v-max on coyotes. Kills em and doesnt damage the hide. makes for a nice pelt. I was getting 3/4 moa or better with my 9 twist savage.

It's a 22", 1:12 twist barrel.

You guys are getting far higher fps than I am with a 20" bbl Mini-Mauser and the 52 Sierra Match. My accuracy load is running 2875 w/ a dose of Varget.

W-W white box 55 gr FMJ came in at a blistering 3400 +, but accuracy was abysmal.

Whichever bullet gives the tightest groups. Weight? Wily won't know the difference.
