.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

I have shot 62gr Fusion factory ammo through a 1-12”. Worked on several deer with an old Contender barrel.

Thanks. Even one data point makes me feel better.

Federal Power-Shok 64gr soft points are another that I would like to try out in my 1:12 twist.

Sierra 55 gr SBT #1365 is an awesome slow twist killer in both 223 and 22-250. Many deer and many hogs have met their end with that bullet.

Sierra states 1:10 needed for the 60 tmk. I haven't ordered any to try out yet, but I may coming up.

I haven’t stuck to recommended twist rates. If I did I wouldn’t have half the bullets to reload that I have.

75 Amax Works in a 9
77 TMK Works in a 9
140 Amax Works in a 9
208 Amax Works in a 12

I live in the high areas of the flatlands and have zero stability issues. I’ll be picking up some these new fangled ELDM bullets to try out next spring. Maybe I’ll be proven wrong.

75 ELDM are skookum in my 1-8” Tikka.

Went to post my second for the year with the 20" 223 Tikka and just now realized I didn't even take a picture...oops. WT doe, 160 yards, broadside. Factory 73 eldm. Aimed high shoulder and hit about 2 inches right. Right where the spine bends up into the neck was essentially demolished. Bang flop with a little kicking around when she went down. Getting to be really fond of the little pea shooter.
