Looking for some advice. I have 2 savage axis 223rem 1-9 twist rifles I used for varmint hunting. I currently use 55gr v max in hand loads and I get very good 100yard accuracy from them. I am looking to shoot woodchucks a little farther than 100yards so if I'm correct a 50-53gr would give me a little more velocity for the extra reach on a 223rem. I'd like to be about 300yards.
Would you guys stick with a 55gr round or run something a little lighter? I have a buddy who only uses 50gr v max but his is a 1-12 twist 22-250 he seems to get very good results.
I'm looking at 50-53gr v max and 50-53gr nosler varmagedon.
