    Belmont don't make a good .223 load. The nearest thing they make is the old 77gr SMK load. the 77gr SMK is a bad bullet. It does not work consistently. The professional hunters I work with use...

    Hunter_Nick liked post by 7mm Rem Mag On thread : A question for the doubters
    I was using my 7mm rem mag for about the first 10 deer I shot and my furtherest shot was 490 meters. I have shot over 20 deer with my 223, shoulder shots, neck shots and head shots with the...

    I’ve probably lost an animal or two with every caliber I’ve ever used, some never figured out why. Seen animals lost by other people using various calibers. When it comes to going out purely...

    Don't get me wrong. A larger, heavier bullet of good construction makes a larger wound. In some instances this may result in a slightly faster death. However the .223 with good bullets appears to be...

    Actual specific bullet function matters much, much more than the 3 digits stamped on the brass. You cannot compare a 50-55gr basic SP (old .222 fodder) to a more modern heavy-for-calibre bullet...

    I have shot every stag I've shot in the roar for the past 5 years with a .224" 80gr ELDM at 2700-2800fps mv, and I haven't found any cause for complaint. Ranges to 380 metres. There is a large...
