    50-60 in (work time) over a day last week. Could have been more if I was wanting to shoot more.

    A slack handful with the 223 trying out the hornady training ammo. but a tip to new spotlighters, make sure your lamp works before going out in the dark

    That Hornady training ammo is a 55gr SP.
    They are a bloody good round actually.
    I've only hit roos and goats so far, and they all dropped dead

    It's works shithot on them spanners, going through about 80-100 rounds a day. They don't open up so well from say 50 to 70 metres, I assume they are going a bit quick at that distance and do tend to pass right through some side on. But they turn lots of them inside out, or sends them flying into the air. Best so far would be about six foot

    If your in through CRT then $295 a case. Soddy can do it for 300 I believe on pickup.
