   Main issue I have is lack of blood trail with a .223,sold mine long ago and now use .308,243 and 44 mag,mostly bush hunt so want a good trail for the dog to follow up if needed.

   I flattened a fallow stag last week @ 230m with 53gr TSX Barnes. Never moved. The petals we shedded but the main projectile remained intact. My mate up the coast shot a red stag with 55gr TSX Barnes...
