Always used BM2 for all pills from 53gr to 65gr. Nice metering and wicked accuracy.

Since the .223 on Deer thread goes so well, may as well start a .223 handloads thread. I have never done any load development with this rifle before - I just shot the load as provided by Kiwi...

In days gone by I might have shared the sentiment. But these days you need to shoot everything you see on sight. Young hunter / first stag aside, the only way I would’ve let this deer walk would...

228m, same 73gr eldm load. My youngest son's first stag, velvet ethics aside I didn't have the heart to tell him he couldn't shoot. One very happy lad, antlers off to get cured. First shot was a wee...

Yep devastating . My ONLY regret with my .223 is having cut the barrel to short. I should have left a couple more inches on it to get more peed out of the heavier projectiles. Still I get the same...

On the US forums the ATip gets bagged for being very inconsistent and for penciling. The 88 eldm gets excellent reviews. Going by the 80 eldm here the 88 should be a winner. Them and a 22Creedmoor...
