224 Valyrie bullet for deer

[Gobihawk]

Have an AR in 224 Valyrie with a 1:6.5 twist. Currently shooting 88 grain Hornady match bullet for pdogs. Bought some 75 grain spire point bullets. Wasn't happy with accuracy. Anyone shooting a hunting bullet with this setup under 1" MOA?

Lots of folks here will recommend what you’re already shooting, that 88gr eldm. Folks are shooting elk and moose and getting consistently good kills with eldms and tmk’s in the mid-high 70 gr and larger weights. Theres a few LONG threads with autopsy photos, etc from different bullets, including one dedicated specifically to .224 projectiles. Thats where Id start.

“Bullets matter more than headstamps.”

“Spent primers offer the supreme tutorial”.

I’ve read it here and elsewhere online. It got my attention. I started digging and asking questions and listened.

The 77gr TMK delivered by a .223 is where I ended up after many discussions and objective data regarding bullet performance and numerous pics of field results.

Now for the delivery system. Accurate. Repeatable. Reliable. Reasonable weight to afford steady shot placement and the ability to spot my own impacts...

That's for the heads up on the cheat sheet. I'll checkout the 77 grain TMK.
