Thread: Targex ammo

I’ve been developing a load for my CZ 222 using 50gr v-max and it been going great but finding pills has been frustrating, not 6.5 frustrating but a little difficult.
Picked up 100 52gr pills of @TARGEX and did a short version ladder hoping it’d be similar at least to the v-max load.
I’d just shot a 3 round group with a 7rm and used the same target.
Anyway I picked the first shot, it’d clipped the edge of the Rem mag hole. 2nd shot no obvious impact, 3rd shot no obvious impact, 4th shot maybe an extension of the Rem mag hole at the bottom but by now I’d lost confidence that I was even hitting the target. Adjusted my POA and there it is, right where it should be.
Other than my first round the next 4 had an ES of 11fps over a 0.4gr charge difference.
Gotta say at extremely exiting what this pill might might be capable of.
I’ve seen other posts regarding Targex pills but honestly I didn’t expect those results. Obviously I’ve got more to do but hopefully not that much.
Ladder was 20.2gr through 20.6gr doing 3130fps

Targex are Good Pills.

Lol Things got a bit hairy for us eh.
Lost our calf shed roof and blew out a few other sheets on the sides and back. Recently put weed mat down that required saving at 2am Parked our Utes and bike on the bit that was lifting.
I validated the Targex loads yesterday out to 500yds during a calm patch. All I was really after was the drops but I still put a 1in group together at 300yds not so good at 4 & 500yds though. Elevation was good.

I have represented NZ using TARGEX projectiles. They have set NZ records....awesome projectiles...

Ive shot a few hundred wallaby with them and a pile of deer. 69 grn mainly. Very effective.

Missed a few too but I expect the bullet was still travelling straight

Does he make 6.5 projectiles? (half joking, half dead serious)

He was planning to. Not sure if they have come to fruition.
There won't be any more .224 69grn for a few months. He is waiting on jackets from the States.

Last time I checked with Bryn he was still waiting on the dies. Once he has them he needs some time to get a design sorted and tested.

He’s a bloody nice guy 👍

6.5 cal, I hope that turns into fruition for him as he could really corner a market

If he was set up and ready to go right now, he could be a very rich man.
