I just noticed I made a mistake.
The 3500 FPS was for the varmint grenade.
The Rem.55 fmj were only doing 2750 in the 20" AR.

Your right any bullet is better than no bullet.
Almost any thing will work if everything is going your way.
Most of the time what can go wrong , will.
That's why I like using mission specific ammo , when I can.

I wouldn't HUNT with HP, in .223 or .357.
The AR I keep lying around is loaded with Sierra 65 grn. Game Kings.
I keep my S&W 340 M&P loaded with 170 Keith's.
I am open to change if someone shows me something I think is better.

I've started testing full wad cutters in the 340.
I can only stand the blast of 38+p in the 1 7/8" bl. and am thinking the wad cutter may be a better choice at 750 fps I'm getting.
