I wasn't pleased with a lot of the performance of the average .223 bullets and weights. I've been shooting the 68gr hornadys for years now and have been more than pleased with them but they do make a mess sometimes.
crapshoot,
My thought with the 450 was duel purpose. Here in Ohio, it's a legal deer gun cartridge. I think I'd be better served to stick to a coyote ONLY killing cartridge and pass on the 450.
I've loaded some 55 gr. V-Max bullets for my 5.56 @ 2900 fps. That's only 600 fps slower than my 22-250, but even so, I don't trust it to be the "bang flop" rifle that I prefer.
I may have to look into a 6.5 Creedmoor upper. Never heard any bad reports about the killing performance from this cartridge.
