4 for 4 now. These 2 @ 184 and 120 yards. Both bang-flops (one was a head shot though). Will post a pic of shoulder entry wound tomorrow. These projectiles expand quickly and then penetrate well. ...

If 1500 foot pounds of energy was the sole determement then the .223 wouldn't have ever killed a deer. So there's obviously a lot more going on.

Thats very cool. I smiled about the lost 'phone. The first time I hunted with Rod he had to go back and find his range finder, and the last time I lost my GPS. :)

Three of us shot 78. Some heavy snow last week made it a bit difficult and affected our tally. Shot a couple of deer too and we saw a couple of Chamois. My longest shots with the .223 were 421 ...
