65gr Gameking, launched from a AR-15 with 1 in 7 barrel. Broadside shot, broke onside humerus, stopped in offside hide. Spike buck went 30 yards & dropped.

I would not shoot a bigger animal with it, but it worked.

Savage 99, don't look at this photo... smile

I just made up a batch with those for my 9" twist 223. They shot great with Varget, but I don't like the compressed load hassle. They shot great with TAC, but my locals don't keep it. So I'm trying CFE223 which has provided precision with 50 grain Bergers and 68 grain Hornadys. And my factory cro-mo Rem LTR barrel could use the decoppering help.
