Question

What company makes a better .223 bullet in your opinion, Hornady v-max, Remington umc, or black hills?

Answer 1

Amen logan!!

Answer 2

I am a ballistics technician.  There are so many 223 bullets available - you cannot answer the question without knowing what your intended target is.

Some bullets, like the Blitz - are thin skinned for varmints.

Some of the hpbt are great for paper but not a good choice for game.

This list will literally go on and on.

You need to be more specific.

Answer 3

logan nailed this one, no more can be said.

Answer 5

For people sized targets, hands down, Black Hills.

They have the Navy contract for the 77gr boattail hp SEAL sniper round.

I happen to have a few hundred rounds, and it is just as you would expect, extremely consistent.

Hornady V-max is a very good varmint round, although Barnes just recently gave us the Varmint Grenade.  A frangible round that is unequalled in reference to effectiveness.

And UMC is an ok plinker round.
