Thread: 64gr Sierra Gamechanger in 223 on Goats

I shot a small roe doe this morning at 70m with the 90gr TGK (1:8" twist Sako 6x45, 23gr Viht N133). Live weight would be around 15kg. My muzzle velocity is around 2550fps so impact velocity would have been about 2400fps. It dropped on the spot.

It was a quartering shot. It broke 2 ribs on entry, passed below the spine doing decent damage to both lungs and exited the opposite shoulder. Unfortunately part of the stomach burst so not the tidiest but I will take some pictures of carcass when I butcher it. I did notice a fragment of copper between some ribs which indicates that there must have been some expansion.

Out of a faster 6mm cartridge I'm sure that the bullet will work well for up to 300m or so at a guess.

I'm just trying this bullet for fun as they are cheap here. I usually use the excellent 62gr GS Custom copper bullets at 3350fps.
