Alright folks, I need a little bit of help from you .223 guru's out there. Relatively recently, I bought a Mini-14 and would like to have it ready as a back up gun for the fast approaching deer season here in Ontario. My primary rifle will be a BRNO ZG-47 in 30-06 but I always bring an extra rifle in case my primary craps out for whatever reason and the Mini is the only back-up rifle I have available at present.

That being said : What do you guys use for .223 SP ammo and which seems to be best? Or should I go one step further and go bonded? The Mini has a 1 in 9 twist rate so it should be a-ok to stabilize heavier rounds.

Also, where would be a good place to get said ammo? All I can find around home is FMJ. Not even a hollow point to be seen let alone SP...

Thanks for the help. :)
 
If you are using it for deer, then the heaviest bonded bullet you can find. If that can't be done the winchester 64 grain power point is very good.

I just watched tnoutdoors9's review on the 64gr power point and it looks promising. Anyone ever use TSX's for hunting before?
 
60 gr Nosler partition would be much recommendation. I used it on a deer last fall to good results (through the rib cage and heart, leaving a toonie sized hole).
