I think highly of the Sierra BlitzKing. Sadly I can't comment on the "absolutely no ricochet" component as it has never been a issue. The bullet is rather thin skinned and blows up in a woodchuck. The woodchuck blows up too but that is another story. I have only shot one song dog with it and it was, well, messy. I have no idea of what became of the bullet. The back stop for that shot was hardwood woods with heavy undergrowth, no sense even looking for it.

Since Hornady decided to stop making the 70 gr SXSP and my supply is about exhausted, I need to work on finding a new bullet for my load.
I was loading the 70 gr SXSP into Winchester cases over a Winchester primer and 43 grs of IMR 4350. This is/was a very accurate load for my Remington 700BDL in .243 Winchester. From the bench it would group 5 shots all nearly in the same hole 1 inch high at 100 yrds and dead on at 200.
I'm looking at the 65gr Hornady V-Max, the 70gr Sierra Blitzking and the Nosler 70gr spitzer.
Has anyone got a comment on any of the three? I need one of these to perform the same as the SXSP did in the "absolutly no ricochet" department,
and as good or better on the accuracy part.
Thanks
