I have fairly recently entered the world of 6.5 Creedmoor after 20+ years of favouring .308win. I strayed to this fad/trendy cal with scepticism and apprehension but a lot of curiosity and sat down...

I came home a few days early to head up to the hydro canals fishing with a good friend. Big rainbows were spawning so we threw back three at 22lb, 23, and 27lbs. Got my personal best at 22lbs...

Not nearly as many as others, only a handful, I came to the .222 late. I have had two .222's over the years, a Winchester 70 and a Sako Vixen. The damage the bullet does is way out of proportion. I...

When I started in Forest service we were issued Sako 50 gr good round too, later we got Hertinburg which was ok for goats but a bit light on deer but still worked with good shots, one thing about the...

It is my understanding that the NZFS started out with .222 Norma ammunition only and then mixed it up with cheaper ammo buys. When that happened the headmen got first dibs on the Norma ammo and their...

I think this a great point, I've seen plenty, shot a few with a 222, also a 223 until one day I ran into a big stag in the roar, he was mudded up angry as all hell and took a 5 shots to the neck with...

It will be fine. Recently shot my first fallow with a 6.5CM, and all I can say is, I'm glad I shot it in the neck.

50grn barnes TTSX work great in my .223 at trebly speeds. keep range down below 200...preferably below 150 ,place your shot where it will do the most good and you will be just fine....
