So I've looked at ammo at local shops and found 4 different types of ammo
-Winchester 45grain jacketed HP-40rnd box-$42.93
-Remington 55grain core lokt soft point-20rnd-$28.24
-Winchester 50grain Silver tip-20rnd-$33.91
-Hornady 53grain v-max varmint express or something like that.-20rnd-$27.11
My rifle is 1:9 twist I'm decently sure. (its hard to find info on)
-Savage model 10 predator hunter .223.
I am wondering which you would chose for the rifle.
Get the Vmax and see if it groups well, it should.
Those bullet open well.
The 435 grain ammo in the White box is what a lot of guys I know shoot for factory stuff as well.
Either the 45gr HP or the VMax.....I have used both in .223 and .22-250 with good results and minimal fur damage....stay away from the big bone in the shoulders.
