    not yet sorry mate.... but the goat at 5 yards to day in the broom dropped on the spot with headshot...the young one right up her bum craned head forward to find out why its buddy had stopped and copped the same treatment.....absolutely PRICELESS.
    the only projectile recovered so far had travelled through neck of sheep at 50 yards and I could just about reload that one back into case and shoot it again.
    we used to cut a cross into the tip of hp .22lr rounds to make them expand quicker...... the 2nd goat was hit with one with that done to it....big bulgy eyeballs and pill didnt get to the neck,so guess it opened pretty darn well.
    keep up the great work.

    90gr xtp nobody tried them?

    Very quiet out of a full lenght 308 and being a pistol projectile they do expand if not exactly violently.

    Nice. How are you doctoring it? Jig and a drill down the middle to a preset depth? What weight is one after the drill has been up it?

    It obviously does the business!

    they are from Robert/shootersNZ yip the above link...doctoring.... goes with all usual cautions.....all care,no responsibility,works for me blah blah blah
    take stanley knife and cut down into rim of hollow cavity about 2mm in a cross pattern...... theory is it makes it plurry easy to start opening...we did it as kids with .22lr back before winchester brought out power points.

    Been using 200gr cast lead wadcutters off TM, with 6.5gr of Trailboss. That combo gave me around 1050 fps.

    Now I am experimenting with 174gr Hornady RN Interlocks. They seem to want a lot more powder... Up to 9.0gr of Trailbos and only getting 970 fps...

    Anyone done testing between Federal 215 magnum primers and CCI 250's ? Would be keen to hear what speed differences were.
