Completely your choice Jeff . . . but just gotta say,there are a ton of good to great,to exceptional,bullets for the 223/5.56 velocities out there. ESPECIALLY for the guns with longer bbls and faster twist rates.
I have a 24" . . 1:7 . . 5.56 . . that shoots most anything great. It loves the 60gr Nosler Partitions and the <63gr Barnes.
The 60gr NosParts are a especially a great killer of deer and hogs at the 223/5.56vels.They exit, leaveing a nickle size hole,and do alot of damage going through.--- SAWMAN
