I went back to my youth over the winter and bought a 452 CZ ultra lux 22lr and a ruger American 22 WMR in the last month and have been small game hunting. I thought it would be fun to up the anti and find some load data for my 223 ltr to shoot at hornet velocities. I don't mind using some 40g j words. What boolits/molds brought out the least destructive results for squirrels and rabbits? Figured I'd start mold shopping and cast some as well. I'm sure I'll have to gc and pic them if I'm going to approach 2000fps.
My goal is to download my 223 to 22 hornet velocities so I don't have to purchase another rifle and optic and to be able to shoot it without muffs like my rimfire and not blow my ear drums out.
I figured if I cast some solid soft points and light load them they will be less destructive than the 30g vmax 22 wmr at 2200 fps? I know accuracy can be a challenge with cast but hoping to get MOA or less at a 100 yards and have the reliability with a center fire.
