Default Sierra 55 g gamekings ! Spitzers or HP ?

Loading some of these for the .223, I have both the spitzer and the Hollow points.
Putting them on top of 24g of H335 with LC brass.
Anyone have a preference on which bullet will do more damage on a whitetail @ 100-150 yds. max?

I would use the Spitzer it will probably hold togrther better than the hollow points. Good luck.

as all ways its about shot placement, i using the same 55 hp bullet took a deer at 400yd ,the deer went no were but down. personally you should try the 69gr ,assuming you have a 1-9 twist
