    If you are after something to hunt with while sorting out loads, try some Highland 7.62X39 SP 123GR factory ammo. Serous have it in stock at $25/box (which is ridiculously expensive). I bought 2,000 rounds of it when it was around the $600/1000 and cheaper than .223 ammo. Knocks down goats with authority and took a nice fat hind on the weekend at 120m with a chest shot approx 2" back from the front leg bone. Bullet went all the way through and she made about 20-30m before dropping stone dead.

    I have been trialing 2206H in the .223 with the hope that it will shoot in the 6.5 Creedmore and the 7.62x39 as it is listed for all three with reasonable velocities. Haven't got to reloading the 7.62x39 yet since i still have plenty of the Highland in stock, so keen to hear results.
