    They are called hand grenades for a reason...awesome projectiles,would definitely suggest on larger deer through ribs or into neck,rather than shoulder bones. Those wallabies will not know what hit them. Fun times ahead.

    Belmont used to load 130 grn Lapua hollow point in budget 308 ammo. Had a huge cavity in it. It chrono'd at 3k. It was a good cheap alternative for meat hunting but munched a lot of meat.
    We used it in the Douglas on the high Tahr population and it was devastating. Just imagine posting a pic like this nowadays.

    Restraint is the better part of dignity. Don't justify getting even. Do not do unto others as they do unto you if it will cause harm.

    I used that a fair bit, fantastic accuracy for a factory load and devastating on Fallow and Smaller reds.
