    Hornady 55gr SP Boatail w/canelure

    I bought 1k awhile back from Sage's Friday special. I'll be using them in. Remington 700 SPS tactical 223. How are they for an accuracy bullet or they more for plinking/varmint?

    I bought some awhile back too. I started prepping my brass yesterday so I could start working up a load for them. My rifle is a Remington 700 ADL 1-12” twist. Hopefully I can find a good load for them with accurate data powder 2200, since I had 8lbs given to me. From what I have heard, many people get good accuracy with these bullets, supposed to work well on varmints too.

    I think you’ll find they will shoot just as well as you and your rifle can.

    Its hard to say exactly what your results will be as I am sure some people will say they get sub MOA and other will say they get 2in groups at best.

    It think you’ll find they will work just fine for general plinking and varmint hunting. You won’t win world class championships with them though ;-)

    That's what i use to shoot out of my 22/250. They shot great. I was pushing them roughly 4100 fps. They were literally a bomb when it hit a deer.

    Great bullet and with the right shooter, rifle, and load, they are a 1/2 MOA Bullet.
    Great on game from Small Prairie Dogs, up to deer sized game.

    I reload them with 1200r. My son in his ar 15 can ring a 3 inch gong at 300 yards 80% of the time.
