    60gn Hornady, 63gn Sierra - drop deer no problems. 1-9 might be a tad too slow for the 75's, only one way to find out.

    You’re not wrong, thanks I’ll do some investigation. Any powder recommendations and what speeds I could expect from the 16”

    The 60gr Hornady goes super well in Vixens and 223. The 63gr Sierra has been supeceded by 65gr GMK. The 63gr mimics the super reliable and very effective PMC 64gr which was very popular in NZ in early mid 90's when PMC was sold in both packets and bulk in NZ especialy thru HnF.
