Thread: 223 on deer

I bought 300 of the 75gn eldm yesterday after Tahr responded to my post .
It will be interesting to see how they work and also how long I can load them in my 1-8 twist Howa 1500 , not the mini , but the SA version with the internal Mag .
I haven’t loaded for that rifle yet so have no idea what length will cycle through the Mag and also throat dimensions etc .
I’ll have a measure up next week when I get home .
Will be using Fiocchi brass , 2206H and CCI primers
