    I haven't chronographed the 77gr but the 75gr eldm are doing about 2500fps. So pretty slow! I haven't tried any form of load development however. The 75gr has about 650+ f/lbs energy at 300 yards...

    I wouldn't just assume it was DoC. Most likely a Muppet who has decided to leave them on the side of the track. As said above DoC or contract shooters will be required to remove any carcasses away...

    I agree that they shouldn't be left by the track, but as far as shooting animals and not taking any meat off them I really couldn't care less. When you see the state of some of our forest parks...

    There are alot of different opinions on that one and could be a whole thread on it's own, probably is already at least one haha. A .223 is not a long range deer rifle no matter the barrel length....

    Initial trials with the 80 eldm in my Tikka with a Waters mag to allow long oal are showing good accuracy . Now that I know my barrel will shoot them I'll narrow the loads down to find a winner ....
