The Stingers shot 5 1/2" higher than the Norma TAC at 100yds. About 1" high at 50 puts them dead on at 100. The Stingers don't group quit as well as the Norma but I'm going to like them for killing stuff inside of 150yds.
Stingers will shoot flatter but don't hit as hard at 100 yards and beyond as a regular high velocity HP. They also won't expand at 100 yards. You gain flatter trajectory but at the expense of accuracy and energy.

Not expanding might be a good thing when shooting hogs at longer ranges. Explain the lack of expanding if you would, your losing me on that. Thanks, Vince
I mean they just don't open at 100 yards. Not in flesh, not in jugs of water and not in ballistic gel. They're just going too slow by the time they get that far out. At 112 yards they'll do about the same as a .22 short solid would at 12 yards and that's not enough for quick kills on varmints the size and tenacity of grown coons or woodchucks with anything but head shots.
