Best so far is 0.8 MOA with 24gr of H335 - but need to do more testing with higher charges as plenty of room until running into pressure signs. But if not, good enough for the bush 223.

180gr Maker subsonic in 30 cal
Approx 95 y distance, animal walked 5y with visible fountain of blood out off side and collapsed.




Definite expansion going on here despite not hitting anything solid on the entry side.

That works

Or tumbling. Either way, impressive result.
Thank you for the report and pictures!

It is certainly a possibility.....they are only just stable I think.
Tho looking at the damage to the lungs I think it looks a lot more like damage from the knife like expanded petals than a tumbling round projectile but I could be wrong.
