Tend to mostly shoot hares and rabbits with them.

I load the below for a mate:

Code:

243 subsonic load:
6.7gr of Trail Boss
Sierra 75gr HP #1510
COL 2.620"

He uses it to head shot goats and pigs on his property without upsetting the deer too much. Saying that, he has taken a few deer as well with it. Accurate out to 50m without tumbling.


Cheers,
JaSa
