hey fellas. My AR-15 has a 1/8" twist and im looking for a heavier bullet for my .223. Would like a 70-75 grain that will also be effective for dropping coyotes. Hornady's 75 grain A-Max tapers off to quick to load correct and fit in AR magazine. The round needs to be 2.260 or shorter. Thanks in advance.

Re: i need a bullet suggestion
The Amax is a nasty little round but I could never get them to load right at mag length. I had great success with 69 gr noslers HPBT's and 70 gr Barnes TSX's are lights out on anything.

Re: i need a bullet suggestion
I don't think the 75 Amax is made for mag length loading. A Sierra 77 might stabilize. Berger makes a bunch of hunting bullets with target profiles.
I've been meaning to tell that's a nice freezer.
