Title: 75 grain A-Max in 223 cal question.
Post by: GlennGTR 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,

My 22-250 AI had a 1 in 9" twist.
