Thread: 223 on deer

Finally got around to shooting some 73gn elm load tests today , it was a quick session at first light .
These were just shot over the bonnet of the Ute with a bipod and jacket rolled up under the Butt of the stock .
I wasn't at my usual spot where I shoot so didn't have my usual setup .

The flyer's were mainly me I'll admit , but I'm happy to work with these results .
The 23.7gn load was the heaviest powder charge I loaded for in this test and there is zero pressure sign's so will keep upping the powder and see if it tightens up .
The group top centre is my chosen 60gn VMax load and the problem was me not the ammo in this case , I was struggling to get a good shooting position with this first group and this load usually shoots around 14mm-15mm at 100m
