.223/5.56 hog bullet

[Bradley]

Anyone ever used any 62 grain PMC?

[Bradley]

Yes Barnes all the way. Doesn't mushroom like a lead core bullet but peels back like flower petals and slices them up inside. Just make sure you don't go over 62 gr with a 1:9 twist. 1:7 can shoot heavier grains.

So I guess that means I can't shoot 65 gr Sierras in my 1:9 twist AR?.. :-( what are the dangers of a bullet that weight in a 1:9 barrel?

Usually keyholing or tumbling to the target as the bullet loses stability.

I would try them on paper first. Some 1/9 twist barrels will shoot them ok.

I just got some Hornady Match 75gr BTHP. I can't wait to drop something with these.

I hope to get to the range Sat morning and shoot a few different rounds down my 1in 9.

What would be a good hog load for hogs? FMJ and ear hole'em, SP/HP? Empty a 30 rd mag on'em??
I wanna shoot something with my AR...

Don't matter in the ear hole bro...

I have shot my AR 1-9" using 65 gr Sierra game kings out to 500+ yards. Shootin 1"@ 100 yds.

My dad and another buddy we hunt with also uses them no problems. Dads is a 1-8" buddies is 1-9" also. We love Em.

I have no experience hunting with the .223 or 5.56, yet, but I would think for body shots the heaviest, mushrooming bullet that shoots well out of your AR would be the best.

I use the 55gr SP from Honady. Drops them dead in head or shoulder.

Hornady TAP

i have killed hogs with 55 tsx, 62 sierra gamekings and now loading hornady 75gr BTHP match pills.

My 1:9 shoots the heavy bullets just fine

check out Lehigh defense. I saw them at the NRA show. Their bullets are pricey, but if they do what they claim, I will be worth it. I'm going to try the subsonic this year.
