Great write up Dougie, i enjoy reading your posts, some nice tucker there!!!!!
Excellent write up Dougie.
It's good to see a 223 being put to good use :thumbsup:
It is a fantastic calibre and since getting a 223 barrel my 7mm has been gathering dust .
Young goat cooked in hot coals in a camp oven is some of the best bush grub you can eat .
What ammo are you using in the Savage ?

They are great bags huntech used to make them and now these ones are made by a mate of mine. I have one of his originals and to be fair it would be perfect for a goat or fallow, he has made them a bit bigger since and added the zip pocket which is great. perfect for in ya day bag or as a day bag on stay over trips

Rolls up tiny too. Pretty rugged!

Same here, the .260 doesn't get much use although I might take her out of retirement for some LR summer sika.
I'm using reloads by @7mmsaum, 26g of 2208 powder behind a 55g Sierra game king
I tested a few loads before settling in the above, they are very accurate in my rifle and are great on goats, sika and fallow out to a reasonable distance :)

That’s interesting. 2208 works best with 55 grn in my little Savage lightweight too. 27grns & 55 Tipped TSX
I must admit I'm really liking my little 223. The accuracy is just nuts and it does a fair bit of damage for its size.
my .223(s) are only rattleguns, don't get much use anymore now i have a real gun :)
I love the 223 .... It's a fantastic calibre.
Does awesome damage and is super cheap to run ... and the accuracy ... dont start me on the accuracy.
