I am going to be zeroing a .223 Rem 700 this weekend. If I am going to be using this for Bobcats, Coyotes and such would you chose a 55gr V-Max or a 62gr bonded Fusion??? Why??

Is the V-Max too destructive for bobcat, if it were going to the taxidermist?either one would work but that vmax is nasty on small critters. the 62gr fusion is a great deer round...would work great for the coyotes too
if it passes through. probably.....if it stays in it(which its designed to do) you will be fine. its a grenade on small stuff like prairie dogs. Impressive actually.Is the V-Max too destructive for bobcat, if it were going to the taxidermist?
I have killed many with the fiocci 50 gr amax they shoot 1/2” groups in all 3 of my rem r15 which are 1-9 twistI am going to be zeroing a .223 Rem 700 this weekend. If I am going to be using this for Bobcats, Coyotes and such would you chose a 55gr V-Max or a 62gr bonded Fusion??? Why??
Very informative, thanks...What's the barrel twist? A tighter twist would be good for a heavier bullet. A 1 in 14 would be good for up to a 60gr bullet. After that, you wouldn't hit the broad side of a barn. I'd say V-max, but you might mess up a trophy. The 223 should be excellent for those animals
I just looked it up. The varmint barrels had a 1 in 12, the newer ones had a 1 in 9. That 1 in 9 should be spot on for the bullet weights you're talking about. Accuracy will be everything with the 223 and animals on this hunt. Hopefully you're doing an open plains shot. The 223 will frag if you hit anything between you and the targetVery informative, thanks...
