    Here's another one I shot with the 70 Accubond last night. 200 yards. Manageable damage and effective.

    I've got a box of those to load in the .223. Unfortunately I've got about 300 deer worth of other bullets to test first.

    Where do people think the sweet spot is in the creedmores.
    How far are people pushing the 22 and 6mm on game?

    Ive used it to 340 yards easy peasy. I imagine it will be effective so long as the bullet upsets which is about 2000fps/700 yards. I limit myself though by only doing my drop chart to 500 yards. Ive only shot 4 Fallow and 1 Red with it though. Sure hammers them.

    Don't you mean "when we need the next best thing to sell lts of new rifles, ammo, dies etc etc".
    Hornady if nothing else have a fantastic marketing dept.

    I shot a big dry red hind at about 200 yds with one and hit her a bit far back. She still tumbled down the hill like she had been hit by a good shot. Passed right through her. Didn't fish around inside her to look at what happened though.

    This an exit on a Fallow doe. 150-ish yards. She ran about 15 yards.
