Hey guys, wondering if some of you could give me your opinions on some bullets. I'm looking to reload for the AR, but not for plinking, or for shooting matches, but mainly for self defence and for hunting smaller game. I'm down to 3 bullets. Sierra 65gr gameking soft point, Sierra 55 gr Gameking hpbt. And nosler 69 gr hpbt.
I'm leaning to the nosler, even though it's a match bullet, it has a thin jacket. Their 77 gr version has been shown to fragment in ballistic gel real nice. And I'm wondering if the 69 gr will do also.
The 55 gr sierra hpbt is from their gameking line and is supposedly a stronger bullet than one from their varmit line. I'm wondering has any one used them say on animals like coyotes or small deer and how would they do against humans.
And with the 65gr Soft point from sierra, I'm wondering what kind of expansion and penetration it gets. Thanks for the help.
