That is a very fast wagging tail! A very happy woofer by the looks.

She did a great track on it so she should be very happy about herself.

Tasty dinner there for the pot.
Hi there, I'll "chime" in but not with too much.
I do make all my own cores & just a little info as I'm not saying too much.
If the cores are too soft the bullet will "splatter" a bit too much(blow up on the outside) & if they are too hard the cores will just shatter so not much better off.
Hope this helps in the debate!
Cheers
@TARGEX great bullets. So accurate. Great BC and more importantly deadly.
So, managed to get out for a cheeky overnighter with the dog and the mighty 223. Got onto plenty of animals, sneaking up on a hind feeding at 5m on the walk in and missed an easy head shot (don't ask). Got this one at about 6 paces, Kai windicating through a tight ball of supplejack. She popped her head up from above the grass bed she was sleeping on. Sako 55g did the job.
Got onto a few more which was fun in the tight, and the dog got us onto another hind the next day. Both came back in the backpack which was a mistake, well the Physio is benefitting. I checked the rifle zero at my range at 25m. Appears the first miss was my fault.

"Death - our community's number one killer"
Wee fella yesterday jumped up about 5m in front of me as I was heading back to truck after a really frustrating several hours of rubbish gusty and swirling wind. Went about 30m and stopped too long. Threaded the needle and high neck shot dropped him like a sack o' spuds. Cheap and cheerful 64gr power points. Feel a wee bit shit because I thought he was just a spike, but in good nick and broke a bit of a drought lately so I'm happy enough.

Looks like it needed removing from the gene pool anyway. Great shot
Beauty of the little Model 7 in .223 is I watched it drop through the scope. Didn't think to see if I could recover any of the projectile but it was probably quite smashed after hitting vertebrae at that distance I think. Now to get one with the reloads
A bit of a fun weekend on fallow all shot with the.223 55grn SP and 77 TMK
