What to do with o.a.l. bullets to long for 223 mag or chamber?

Is there something other than Sierra????

Lapua Scenars, Berger OTM’s, Sierra TMK’s, Nosler RDF’s & CC’s all come in 77’s.

Of course, the 75 ELD/A-Max’s are famously long, longer than the 77 SMK’s.

Would be nice to know what / how many you have.

Make wadcutter ammo out of them, for short range. https://www.jbmballistics.com/ballistics/lengths/lengths.shtml

The ultimate Boat Tail bullet!
Really not a bad idea.
Imagine the tumble it would do inside **** ballistic gel ****

Gotcha… sorry…

I’m a huge, huge fan of the 77 SMK. Until the 73 ELD came out, I generally would have agreed - the 77 SMK was THE bullet to use in the 223/5.56 AR.

The cg would be forward so I dont think it would tumble.

Still haven't found the other heavy bullets yet, the boss tried to help me find them and really
got fussy when SHE saw how much stuff ther is to go thru.

Getting worse, I found out I got 2 boxes of 80 grain Sierra HPBT.
Another not as bad as is the Sierra, 65 grain Spitzer.

That's the best bullet ever, your breaking my heart

I load Hornady 75 HPBT's to mag length and love them. The tip must make them longer, don't k

Same here, it is the only bullet I use on my RRA.
