    43.2gr of benchmark with an 88? Be fairly "hot" wouldn't it?

    I shoot the 50gr TTSX with my 1:14" 220 Swift and they're fantastic on deer. I pull the tips out which is very easy. Fantastic deer combination!

    Very photogenic.

    How much deer did it punch through? From what I've read about the Barnes, you did well to recover it because they usually exit.

    Productive afternoon shoot.

    Three roos shot with 88's at 390m. Instant lights out.

    Seven shot with 50gr NBT's. Extremely brutal.

    One small roo shot with a TTSX at about 60m. Bullet punched through, small exit, dragged a chunk of lung out. Buried about 12 inches into the dirt and recovered.

    Many photos taken. Most far too graphic to post.
    @Steelisreal put in a good showing too.

    Hopefully we'll get a few more in the morning.
