We have the same problem over here 4 gates open on the local dam and the big one up stream at 99% and probably will spill

So the 80 grn Targex will gỗ right through a solid hind at 180 yards and a spiker at 250. The performance is very impressive. High SD sure makes a difference to penetration. The 69 grn seldom exit and then only on Fallow (still work though).

No you cant. I don't think Bryn (Targex) will mind me saying that he can't get the Berger jackets for the 80 grn and he doesn't know know when Berger will supply him. But not any time soon.

I have 200 left and they are now precious. Won't be blazing them at wallaby anymore - will use the 69 grn on them and save the 80's for deer.

Having said this the 80 grn ELDM are back in the retailers and they are pretty good. And I have 200 77 Sierra TMK so personally Im not desperate.

Long mag in a Tikka. I will look it up tomorrow. If your mag is under 2.3" (Tikka length) use the 77 grn Sierra TMK.

Hi @Black Rabbit, I have a Weatherby Vanguard 223. It shoots very accurately and they are a fairly cheap rifle. I paid 600 for mine second hand. Made in Japan by Howa I think.

Thank you! Yeah, I heard Japanese does make rifle and parts with their high quality steel and machining quality, but only two types bolt action are selling in Japan for deer hunting.
