75 grain A-Max in 223 cal question.
« on: November 12, 2010, 05:47:22 PM »
I have a box of 223 cal 75 grain A-Max and was wondering if any of you have experience using it on mid size game like coyotes, cougar, badger, small hogs, bobcat, ect, ect,
You don't need a flatter shooting rifle or a larger caliber.What you need is good field marksmanship. Jeff Cooper.

I haven't shot them but you'll need to check the twist of your gun to see if it will stablize them.

I killed a bunch of yotes with the 75 A-max out of my 22-250 AI until the throat was totaly gone and now it groups more like a shotgun then a rifle.
My 22-250 AI had a 1 in 9" twist.

All of my 223 ammo is 55 grain FMJ. I don't reload so I get the bulk ammo. I've killed coyotes and bobcats with it, with no huge entrance/exit holes. Never have checked the twist because it always works for me. :twocents:
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............
