That would be a great gopher load. Impressive accuracy.

I have gone exclusively to the 40 gr Nosler ballistic tip in my 223's,I use them for gophers, rockchucks, coyotes, and PD's. I am driving them at a little over 3700 fps but after seeing your target I may have to load up a few with Unique for gophers, that must be like shooting a 22 rimfire.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.
