I get the same issue. Sometime pages on this forum take longer to load than spring turning into summer, or my kids growing up and moving out of home.Quote:

This might wind a few people up but have been on a deer/pest culling hunt in a local NP. Anyhow, I decided to take a shot on a deer at 492 meters with 73eldm with a faint right to left breeze. Shot was successful if marginally to side of crease. Animal turned around, took four steps and fell down and didn’t move again. . A good result considering velocity would have been around 1635 fps. Shooting buddy who was backing up with 300 Win mag was well impressed. No photos of animal as recovery wasn’t considered and weather closed in.
Continuing with the 223 on Tahr theme. My daughter's first Tahr couple of weeks ago.
73gr ELD-M impact velocity 2165fps. Full pass through.

I do like that knife!!!!
The 73s seem a little softer than the 80s to me. A very good option for lower velocity e.g. shorter barrelsQuote:

Looks just like what I need
Would have been nice to see the bullet expansion at that speedQuote:

Flies being a big issue this time of year , the little net over the trailer worked well.
All 33 given away to people wanting meat.
