What bullet specifically is used in the Winchester white box, .223 Rem, 55 Gr. 3240 FPS ammo? The box says FMJ. I get that. When looking at this ballistic calc (http://gundata.org/ballistic-calculator/) it doesn't give the specific bullet.

Does anyone know what bullet this is closet to in the dropdown? I also know this is "Try DOPE". It will be proofed and actually DOPEd on a range prior to going on a hunt.

The old 55 grain soft point Winchester used to sell works like a champ on deer.

I just plugged in some numbers and came up with a "Try DOPE chart". Im heading back out to the rage tomorrow to get actual DOPE on Targets.

Thanks, everyone for the assistance.
