100grain .223 ammo?

[jar111]

Where can i buy .223 cal 100 grain in canada?

I have never seen .224" bullets heavier than 90gr,and even if someone did make one, you would need a barrel with a very fast twist.What gun do you have,and what is the rate of twist?

Good luck finding it up here.. Black Hills made some back about 10yrs ago and I dont know if it even avbl anymore. There are a couple of companies making subsonic stuff but again trying to get it up here would be extremely tuff. Not sure why you would even want it. It may have a problem in being loaded too long to reliably feed in a regular mag..

You might have to fire up the lathe to build those out of solid copper.
Would be one loooong bullets thu.

savage arms #11 1-9 rate of twist

not near fast enough-a 1/7 twist pushes the envelope at 88

You might stabilize a 75gr bullet if you are lucky.

I was gonna say the highest grain 223 ive seen is Hornadys TAP FPD ammunition , i think they have a 75 grain loading with ballistic tip . and i believe its match grade.

Well i may have to buy a larger cal rifle 243 or something like that eany recommendations

Do you realize that most factory 243 rifles come standard with a 1 in 10" twist that won't stabilize the highest BC .243" bullets?The highest BC 243" bullets do best in a 1 in 8" twist.You will likely end having to install an aftermarket barrel with a faster rate of twist.

Why is it so important to shoot a 100gr bullet?

 

[jar111]

I have a wolf problem and dont think a 55 gr bullet is adequate, im going to try a 90gr berger bullet and maybe ordering a custem barrel........ I know use a bigger gun but i am comfortable and confident when shooting my .223 so im trying to stick with it.

 

[stubblejumper]

Keep the barrel that you have,and use a 62gr TSX.The 90gr Berger won't stabilize in your gun anyways.

 

[jar111]

U think 62gr will be enough i wouldn't shoot a deer with it the wolfs are almost the same size?

 

[stubblejumper]

A 62gr tsx will perform just as good as a 90gr cup and core bullet because of it's construction.Unless you are hunting small deer,the average deer is considerably larger than a wolf.It takes a huge wolf to top 150lbs,and a big deer will top 300lbs.

Winchester PowerPoints come in a 64 grain offering, designed for deer sized animals... I carried it this fall for deer in my Tavor. I believe you could use them successfully. Keep in mind that you may want a heavier bullet, but your 1 in 9 twist won't stabilize it & I believe ACCURACY to be MORE important than foot pounds of energy. IE, a 64 grain PowerPoint in the boiler room will do the job better than a heavier projectile that doesn't group for you...

Well ill give it a shot i just dont want to have a wounded wolf on my hands.

 

[esquif]

you need a special troated gun for 100gr and they dont fit AR mags... plus they turn your 223 into a 45-70... go with 77gr

"...come standard with a 1 in 10" twist..." Only Browning uses 1 in 10. Most others are 1 in 9 or 9.5. Stabilize 100 plus grain bullet just fine.
"...dont want to have a wounded wolf..." Shot placement.

"...come standard with a 1 in 10" twist..." Only Browning uses 1 in 10. Most others are 1 in 9 or 9.5.

Cooper,Sako,Weatherby,Tikka and Howa also use a 1 in 10" twist.

Stabilize 100 plus grain bullet just fine.

Some 100gr plus bullets yes,but Berger recommends a 1 in 8" twist for their 100 gr plus bullets.Other similar shaped bullets would also do better with a 1 in 8" twist.The OP was talking about long range bullets,hence me using Berger as an example..
