My first loads have been with Armscor 110gr FMJ round nose carbine bullets. They feed just fine and hit on target.
However, I would like to hunt with this rifle and will need a projectile for that application.
From what I've read some people like the Hornady V-Max, although it isn't designed for big game. The SST was, but I'm seeing mixed reports of whether or not it will expand at a lower velocity.
There is also the Barnes TX bullets, but they're really expensive and hard to get.
I've pretty much decided on the Speer TNT 125 grain. They seem to be the best balance of cost and performance. Supposedly they don't fragment as designed at the lower 300 BLK velocity.
I'm looking 110-125gr bullets pushed by 19.5 grains of H110. Should be around 2300 FPS at the muzzle.
Does anybody know if the Hornady SST will expand at all at this velocity?
