i have a question about b.t.h.p. vs sptzr. --
rifle is a ruger m77 1976 220 swift 26" barrel
target shooter am currently pushing a
fifty grain speer sptzr with 35 grn.4895 -- recently began to shoot some
speer 52 grn. boat tail hollow points with 36 grn. 4895
both loads work just fine however if there is no upside to the more expensive
boat tail it doesn't make much sense to load it -- is there any practical reason or range (yards) where the boat tail will shine over the spitzer ?--
i have been reading about the 223 tumbling after a given distance -- since the 223 & 220 swift shoot 224 bullets will the 220 also tumble and if so at about what range -or bullet speed ?
