Sierra .224 60gr HP

[SAWMAN]

You know,those speeds that you got from Sierra are most likely for "optimal" expansion. IMO if he stated 3000 top end,if it impacted at 3050 or 3075 . . . no discernable difference.
Doing expieraments with bullets at 300BLK vels,the manufacturers like to use the words like . . . "optimal expansion" . . .
WTFork is that. Perfect ?? Heck,I would settle for a little less or more than perfect. --- SAWMAN

I couldn’t agree more. I use their recommendation as a guideline only.

On another note, that bullet was designed for 22-250/220 swift velocities, I’ve read multiple reports online that this bullet out of a 223 does not perform well on coyotes or bobcats, but does well on deer.

In the end, until I try it myself, it’s just stuff that I read online. Hopefully this fall, I will get to find out.
