   FUCK! Nathan messes with a newbie again!!!!! NoNoNo and bloody No!!! Use the right pill, learn animal anatomy and .243 is a more decisive killer than .308 on deer out to 300. There are a number of us...

   Greetings All, It was a damp day yeserday (and today) so I gave all the .222 cases a clean to see what I had. Turns out there are 10 different headstamps and 235 cases after some had been binned for...

   Sounds like you’re in the ballpark to me. My 6x45 sends a 70gr pill at 2950fps from an 18” barrel. Could go hotter, but not by much, it’s on the ragged edge really…. That’s with H322, a good deal...

   No, I have a 20” barrel (see above). Charge weight is 26.2gr 2208, 2.240” COAL so longer than the book spec by some margin, so this load isn’t compressed. Remember the 3133fps is an artificially...

    Well if it were me, I’d be choosing the 70gr Speer because of the sectional density. Stags are thick through the engine room, so I’d want as much penetration as I could get. A 50-53gr Barnes may...

    Alas I wasn't wearing a swandri that day. While it does sound like a bungi tale it's accurate. Personally I'm happy to put the 223 away over the roar and use something with more energy. If you...

    JohnDuxbury… The Speer 70gr is my goto bullet in the .223 when chasing goats and deer. I’ve been using it regularly for about 2 years I guess. I’ll echo Tahr’s comments and tell you not to use...

    For every single story of a stag absorbing 10lb of big caliber lead and copper there will be 20 stories about a .222 or .223 knocking one over with a single well placed shot. The exception is the...

    The 70 grn Speer do stabilise. That is what they were designed for - slow twist barrels. In fact they will stabilise in a 1/14. They will work fine. Note: Just looked back and JD has said this. ...

    The Barnes 45 gr should do the job, so long as you take out the vitals they won't go far and penetration should be good.
