    That's awesome @Roarless20 , impressive shooting by your daughter and it's great that the pikau is already getting used!

    I have a question about the 75 gr ELD-M for you. Are the 75's that you're shooting factory ammo or handloads? I'm getting a 1:8 Howa 223 next week and am looking for 70+ grain factory ammo options (as I don't handload yet) for deer.

    It seems easy to find 50-ish grain ammo which will be good for wallaby etc, but it'd be nice to have something heavier for deer since the 1:8 should handle it.

    Cheers!
