Here in PA, it is allowed to hunt turkeys with a rifle in the fall. I would like to know what type of bullet would be best suited for turkeys out of a 22-250 and .223. Right now I shoot Hornady Superformance Varmint out of both, because I mainly hunt groundhogs, and want the devistation provided with the v-max. However, I would like for there to be some edible meat left on the turkey. I didn't know if a hollow point, or a soft point(like Remington Core-Lokt) would be better.

Thanks for the help,
