    @Pushover How did he do it? Typical american lung shots?
    Also suspect smaller deer maybe?
    Yes very popular there and most done on smles I believe and a lot with 1-14 twist. I have a nearly full box of the 87gr supers they used in them but they are meant to be quite lightly built especially at the speeds used in the 303 action
    P14 can be loaded a little hotter
    Speed and BC very limited but the 117 Honda RN will theoretically work in the 1-12. Maybe even the 14

    interesting. Yeah the p14 can take full pressure if the metallurgy is up to it. Someone blew up an eddystone last year I think.

    117rn be a good bush blaster.

    This guy was using these frangables and getting through and through penetration with shoulder or lung shots. Average range ~200m. 3" exits. That was on whitetail

    They supplied the local prison with the meat
