A: Thanks for reaching out Dylan! The BlitzKing is a specialized small game hunting bullet, primarily because it commences terminal expansion/fragmentation the instant following penetration. In short, this bullet is designed to finish expanding before it reaches the depth where a whitetail's vital organs lie. I'm not going to say you couldn't kill a deer with a BlitzKing, but it's not advisable to try – wound channel's probably going to be too shallow.
I wish we had a perfect 223 Rem or 5.56x45 whitetail round in stock for you. The best I can recommend is the Atomic Heavyweight Hunting 223 Rem: luckygunner.com/223-rem-112-grain-rnsp-atomic-heavyweight-hunting-20-rounds. It will fairly limit your range, but it's the most effective option we have. If you'd prefer to look elsewhere then I'd highly recommend Winchester Deer Season XP or Barnes VOT-TX for deer hunting.

A: No sir, 223 Rem won't work in a 22 Hornet. I'm afraid we haven't got what you need in stock.

A: Good Morning Chris,
Thank you for choosing LuckyGunner.com!
The problem with this ammo for home defense, is they are designed to explosively expand upon impact. While this is excellent for small game hunting, in a home defense situaution where other barriers are involved it may disintigrate upon impact without pentrating to the target.
The standard full metal jacket round have been tried and tested in combat situations to be an excellent defensive round indoors. With high speed and low mass over penetration is not significant. Bear in mind that many people still want an expanding round, I would recommend looking at the soft point particularly the one from Speer Gold Dot series which is specifically designed for defensive use. We are currently out of stock but keep an eye out as we will get some soon.

If you have any additional questions please feel free to reach out! I would be happy to help.

A: Thanks for reaching out James! Yes sir, the BlitzKing delivers the same kind of terminal performance as Winchester's Varmint X bullet. Sierra is first and foremost a bullet manufacturer, and you may just find the BlitzKing offers superior accuracy.
Whether a varmint hunting bullet is ideal for deer hunting is up for debate, but I reckon two deer settled the debate for you!

A: Thanks for reaching out Jerry! I think you'll find the BlitzKing fragments a little too quickly into penetration to be ideal for game as large as coyote. Sierra's GameKing bullet would work better. Of the ammo we currently have in stock, I'd most recommend the Remignton TSX ammo for coyote hunting: luckygunner.com/223-rem-62-grain-tsx-remington-htp-copper-20-rounds. It may even be a little bit overkill, but that's much better than letting an injured 'yote run away.

A: Thanks for reaching out Daniel! We're currently only offering 223 and 45 Auto by the box. We would certainly send you a whole case if you ordered that many boxe's worth, but we're not offering a bulk price for whole cases at this time. We do update our inventory frequently, so I hope you'll check back in again soon to see how we can be of better help!

A: Thanks for reaching out Thomas! Yes sir, if there is green paint on the tip that indicates the M855 bullet, which contains a seven grain steel penetrator. That is still invaluable ammo for you to keep in supply; it is suitable for self-defense, as it pierces barriers as substantial as steel and may split in half while penetrating soft tissue in order to track two individual wound channels. Do not consider it a loss to have ammunition like that in storage.
We currently do not have nonmagnetic FMJ 223 or 5.56 in stock. The nonmagnetic 223 Rem options we currently have in stock are both loaded with the BlitzKing bullet by Sierra, which is highly accurate and delivers terminal performance optimal for varmint hunting. Any round loaded with a polymer tipped hunting bullet will cost more than an FMJ, and as such is not ideal for target shooting.
Our inventory does change frequently. We may very soon have the brass-cased, nonmagnetic ammo in stock that you want for your range. I hope you'll check back in again soon to see how we can be of better service to you!
