Q: Would this ammo work well as a 600 yard NRA high-power round

Posted On: 10/24/11 By: JT Hearn

A: Yes, this Hornady match ammo will be very competitive for 600 yard NRA High Power shooting.

Q: What is the best rifling rate (ie: 1:9) for heavier bullets like this 75 gr?

Posted On: 10/4/11 By: Cy

A: 1/8 or 1/7 twist are preferable for heavier/longer bullets in .223/5.56mm.

Q: The .223 is generally not considered a suitable cartridge for hunting mid-size game (deer). Would the heavier weight bullets like the 75 gr. HPBT, or a polymer tipped bullet with more reliable expansion be exceptions to this convention?

Posted On: 9/29/11 By: Jim

A: This Hornady 75gr HPBT ammunition would perform well against deer within 200 yards. However, as it is fragmenting ammunition, small fragments of lead might make their way into the meat - assuming you were harvesting the deer for that purpose, this might not be ideal. Bonded ammunition such as the 62gr Federal Fusion offers increased weight retention and is specifically designed for hunting deer or other light, thin-skinned game.
