.224 Barnes XLC Bt 45g.
Does anyone have any experience shooting this bullet out of a high velocity .223 round? Accuracy? Penetration?

I have a .223 wssm and I use the 45,50,and 53xlc. Accuracy is great with all of them shooting under half inch at 100yds. My velocity is 4400fps with the 45s. I have shot a bunch of does with mine and they always fully penetrate on broadside shots. I shot one last season in the chest facing me straigh on and I recovered the bullet just under the hide at the back of the ham, just about full penetration from end to end. Bullet weight was 39 grs.

The barnes bullets are great in these high velocity cals.
