Evaluating .223 Nosler Varmageddon , 62 grain, Hollow Point or Tipped?

**Turkeytider** · 07-31-2021, 02:22 PM

Anybody have any experience with one or both of these? Going to compare with 55 grain Hornady VMAX. Hoping one of the two will shoot well out of my 110 Storm, 1:9 twist.

Sorry, I don't have any opinion here but this might belong in the reloading section.

My apologies. If I knew how to move it I would. Thanks.

I've got a load with the Varm 55g FB tipped and HP bullets for my FV12 223, shoot a tad better than the Vmaxes in this gun. and the 55g tipped ones shot decent in the 22/250. No real experience with the 62g bullets. I've tried the 62g but didn't get any particularly good indicators they would shoot in my guns.

Try ''most accurate powder/load tested '' in their load data, it's ALMOST spot on

Never shot the 62Gn but extensively tested the 55 and 53 tipped in 223 and 22-250 in four different guns and results were awesome. I must say the 55vmax shot a bit better in my AR's but can be sometimes hard to find.
Pretty sure both bullets will shoot well out of a 110 storm.

Thanks! Hopefully one or both will give me " minute of coyote " ( MOC ) groups!
