Thats a shame because they were great value for money, I'm glad I still have over 400 left.

Might still be some on trade me, there use to be lots on there.

Hi mate, I have had great results with the 62gr hornady, not only is it deadly acurate .4 of an inch @ 100 meters but the terminal damage on deer has been quite remarkable (can do huge damage).

I...

Thanks for the chart, all I know is the tusocks were blowing sideways and it was hard to stand up in so in my book it was blowing a gale but as for the exact technical terms I'm no expert sorry.

330 meter shot with a 62gr hornady softpoint shot in a left to right galeforce wind, aimed center shoulder but hit base of neck mincing up bone and meat.

Yeah it's worth a thought MD, I checked some old targets and I have tried Hunter_Nick's load already except the distance from the lands but it grouped terrible. I do have plenty of projectiles that...

Ok cool, if I give it another go at least I have an idea where to start.

Cheers mate

Whats your load?

I don't think you use a Tikka gimp ?

I think it may be a Tikka thing, 77gr TMK's great groups, 73gr ELDM's also group fine but the 80gr ELDM's not good

They are about the only pill I couldn't get to shoot in my Tikka 1.8 twist

Nice, now where did I put that apple sauce

Very accurate, 25.5gr 2206H, cci 450 primers

350 meters using a 64gr sierra game changer, the yearling stopped and looked back over his shoulder as if to say I'm at a safe distance but what mum forgot to teach him was 350 meters is not far...

Looks like you are having a lot of fun with that set up Tahr

Buy some of these mate, I shot 3 dear with these the day I got my 223.

Now I'm reloading and I have duplicated these because they are so good, I am using 1.8 twist but these...

Great stuff young man :thumbsup:

I use a swarovski Z5 scope on my 223, works mint

My first large game riffle was the 7mm rem mag and I thought it was the only calibre to use on deer until I started reading posts from champion hunters like Tahr.

After the endless kills posted I...

60 meters, peice of piss with a 223

Only half blind after yesterdays surgery :roll:

I don't know of it but all the best, you are going to love the 223.
Your other riffles will stay in the safe.

What make are you getting?

I agree, a very versatlie riffle which can be used on all sorts of game big or small.
I was using the 62gr SP's, very accurate and cheap. With the help of some helpful forum folk I had the load...

223 on deer, why would you use anything else.

With no recoil you can have the confidence to shoot on the run and get perfect bullet placement
