Thread: 223 Brno query

Hi All. As some of you know I have a ZKK 601 brno. Im no expert on projectile weights so I'll leave this for experts to decide. I currently use SP 55gr remington ammo and always have. However, I've never shot a big bodied stag which I hope to do maybe this roar with this 223 (touch wood). Is going up to a 62-63gr going to make a hell of a difference on bringing down the big boys at close range (bush hunting only). Or can I even go higher? Twist rate is 1:12 I believe. I know shot placement is important and will let him walk if need be, but just been thinking can I go heavier and if so what are the advantages/disadvantages of doing so?

Cheers in advance.
