I'd like to see an entirely un-injured set of lungs, heart, aorta, spine out of a deer that has been shot thus, to demonstrate that it's possible. I've got a high degree of scepticism that it is...

It's a nice thought, except that a .223 with good heavy bullets does kill deer of all shapes and sizes at all normal hunting ranges perfectly acceptably, with no recoil, quiet report, a light short...

Poor performance can happen with any bullet, but in this day and age it doesn't make any sense to be using 55gr bullets in a .223 with a fast twist barrel. The heavier 70-80gr bullets work a lot...

I was stoking 46gr into Lapua brass, cci200, Barnes 85gr TSX for 3200fps from 18.5" barrel. Accurate and kills the shit out of things. 210925

Quick update regarding the rifle; Added an EGW 3-hole picatinny rail and epoxy bedded the rail for good measure. Did this on my other M7 and have got good results from it. Copped some flak for...
