I really like my ruger M77MKII target grey in a .220 swift.

ORIGINAL: 358WINMAN

Guys- is the brass from the BlackHills ammo reloadable?
My high power team uses Black Hills ammo and several members collect the brass for reloading so I will say, "Yes", you can use it for reloads.

Thanks, G2... I appreciate your response. I now need to find out which dealer in my area sell BH Ammo.
Any recommendations as to the better offering from BH? I just looked on their website and they offer many .223 Rem loadings. 52 grain V-Max?

It depends on the rifling of your barrel. If you have a 1:12" twist, stay with <= 50grain bullets. You can try up to a 55 grain but that's about it. Start your selection based upon that and what you are going to do with the bullet. If it is for target, then use a FMJ. If you want to shoot critters, use a ballistic tip bullet. Both will work for either use but they will perform better for their intended purpose.
