An evening out with the .223
All 52 grn Targex. I will write a report.

The 52 Targex are brutal. 280 yards. Red spiker. And there are still people who say the .223 isn't any good on deer.

223 55grn pill base of neck. Bowled him flat. Look at the fat over his rump etc.
Good couple of days hunting Sika with @Pop Shot one of them was this hind shot at 431m with the 223, 75gr ELDM. Entered snug right shoulder and excited opposite side, she went no more then 40m before piling up in the Manuka.
No wind, good rest, validated rifle, proven loads and results over many animals.

@mawzer308 that was an absolutely epic shot to say the least mate, glad I witnessed it. I don't think she even ran 40m if we're being honest. She was dead on her feet, lights out.
I think the stag I shot the next morning with my 7/08 ran further haha.

Young red stag. 40 m. First light 5:40 am. 69 gn tmk. Sacked it. Made pulp of the liver broke the spine and was embedded in the skin on the far side.

Does any body know if the 69gn TMK is offered in a factory round for the .223 in NZ?
I would like to try some through my Vixen for bush hunting.
I do realize they will not stabilize with my 1 in 12 twist, however I'm thinking under 50m shouldn't matter to much.
I don't reload, so factory ammunition is my only option at the moment.
