I like their 130 grain Interlock for just about everything from coyotes to antelope in my .270
i prefer hornady rounds in my 22-250 and my 17hmr for almost any thing just be careful with the ballistic tips cause if you are squirrel it will send chunks into the next county
My Rem Model 700 in .22-250 groups tightly with 55 gr. Ballistic Tips but, at this writing, I'm having difficulty finding them on dealers shelves. I may have to send another order to Midway.
I use Hornadys for many varmint loads for p-dogs, coyotes and foxes:
Hornady 50g VMAX in .223 Bushmaster. They are relatively inexpensive and shoot better than any other .223 bullet I have tried so far. I'm getting less than 1/2 inch groups with my Bushmaster. My brother shoots the 40g VMAX with similar results.
I shoot the Hornady 75g JHP in my Weatherby 25-06 and it is my most accurate bullet in that rifle, consistently below 1/4 inch groups. I have had the bullet break up in the barrel at velocities above 3850 fps so I keep them below that speed.
I shoot the Hornady 110g JHP in my custom .300 Dakota and it is my most accurate bullet with groups below 1/10 inch.
I have had outstanding results from Hornady bullets across the range of bullets in many calibers. The AMAX is reputed to be phenominally accurate but I have achieved such great results with those mentioned above that I have not even tried them.
I like Hornady 50 grain V-Max in my 22-250. It is a Tikka T 3 Lite and on a good day for me I can put five in a small cloverleaf group.
My .22-250 will shoot 50 gr. V max with consistent accuracy, but the best group I ever attained was with 45 gr. Winchester factory. Three touching @ 200 yds.

I don't know with my age and trifocals if I can shoot even that good at 200 yards. I have a very good problem . All my guns shoot better than I can anymore. When I was 30 years old and shooting 500 rounds a week I used to brag on my shooting, but age has taken care of that. I guess that we all reach that point at some time.

After Lasik surgery my vision in my dominate eye is 20/20. That being said, the day I did that, I was having a VERY GOOD day. Not every day is as good. And yes, all of my rifles shoot a lot better than I do most of the time.
LMSAO!

After 37 years shooting the 22-250 going back and forth on just about every bullet, I settled on the Hornady 22 Cal .224 55gr SP with cannelure. shoots less than dime size groups at 100 and it's like a bomb on coyotes and works excellent on White Tail & Mule Deer.
