    Hi Gents,
    Finaly got away this last weekend for bit of a wander with another forum member after a few goats/deer using the new projectiles from Xring.
    I wieghed them & found they were 52 gns so loaded accordingly. ( reloading details up the page)
    I started by sighting in & found them to be reasonably tight out of the 223 Rem ADL with them printing 1/2 inch @ 50yds.
    We arrived @ our destination within 30yds of a mob of 9 goats & I managed to plant one of these projectiles high into the shoulder of a young one which poleaxed it on the spot.We did a bit of an autopsy & found both lungs & part of the liver were smashed & the exit wound was about 30mm so one can understand the reason it dropped so quickly.
    When we go out again with the 223 & bowl a LARGE billy or deer I'll do let you all know ( with photos) showing what the results are --I hope.
    The number we shot all up were 7 (took the meat) & we also saw approx 15 others & 2 mature red hinds & 2 yearlings with them.,--get them next time.
    Because I'm on dialup I can't post pictures but my hunting buddy will do so asap as an addition to this writeup.
    Thanks Xring for the projectiles & a great result using them.
    Phil.
