    With the .223s I've owned I have found sticking one in the ribs much better than neck shots. Not as dramatic as a properly exectued neck shot but a reliable killer especially on deer. Leave the neck shots for the heros

    That "Out back" ammo looks decent.

    Anyone tried it?

    Has anyone tried these, I'm basically wanting to work through all the "bulk" ammo that's around 0.90-1.10$ a shot
