I've been using 60gr Hornady bullets in my .223 for a while now, they are great for groundhogs and 'yotes. I've been playing with different loads, though, and found that the 68gr bullet gives me slightly smaller groups past 100 yards. The problem is that the 68gr bullet is listed as a "match" bullet. I've yet to shoot an animal with it and am wondering about expansion and terminal effect. Pushing this at about 2800FPS, wold this be an acceptable varmint load, or am I better off losing a small bit of accuracy and staying with the 60gr V-Max?
