I bought 2k last time they were available at pv. Haven't found a blem yet of any significance maybe 40 so far have had a bit of patina but they all go where I point em
Thanks for posting this. I had started down the lead rabbit hole and this helps.Here you go:
Health Risks of Lead in Venison: Gray Toxin or Red Herring? | Deer & Deer Hunting
Find out if bird biologists' concerns about the effects of lead in venison on human health are legitimate or just an effort to save birds.www.deeranddeerhunting.com
This is the best post on the thread.
Except that it didn't age well.
Wow. About the same length of this thread! I was thinking something more focused, but I expect that unless I open it to include slight modifications (like options for Tikka) that there’s not much in the way to think thru!
It's so long I thought you were joking or trying to make something deliberately different. It gets action multiple times a week.
. 3 shots dialing the scope and 2 using holdover (used wrong hash on the low shot) at 450 yards off my pack and very squishy rear rest. My only ragrets with this rifle is not buying it sooner and not chopping the barrel down 2 more inches! Hoping to have some pics of some dead deer in the coming weeks. Good luck to all!
If Form doesn’t have stock in SWFA, Sierra, and Tikka, he’s missing out. I wish the tikka 223s weren’t so hard to find.Been shooting my 223 a fair amount, I have shot about 200 rounds of factory 55gr pmc, 500ish 75gr hornady bthp reloads, 5-600 73gr eldm reloads, and now up to about 500 77gr tmk reloads since purchasing the rifle last May. Most of those shots have been off a bipod with a rear rest prone.
As I prepare for deer season I went out today to shoot for a more realistic hunting practice without the bipod. The low shot was user error don’t judge me

What’s your setup and length? I found a 223 Lite the other day but hesitated and haven’t pulled the trigger. I also want to cut “mine” down (current plan is to use a TBAC Ultra 9, but maybe I need to start the process of another can…) - what length do you wish it was?Been shooting my 223 a fair amount, I have shot about 200 rounds of factory 55gr pmc, 500ish 75gr hornady bthp reloads, 5-600 73gr eldm reloads, and now up to about 500 77gr tmk reloads since purchasing the rifle last May.
