Nice thread, at the beginning. Good timing too. ER Shaw just sent a notice that my wife's 6-223 barrel will be arriving this week. I'll start with some lighter (70-85gr) bullets for her and see how things go. In the past, the 100gr RN has been the Hammer of Thor on deer and pronghorn, out of a 15" 243 Encore. Unless you're shooting critters over 300 yard, don't forget about that bullet. My longest handgun shot on game, was the Encore 243 with a 100gr RN at 286 yards. Pronghorn buck was dead before he hit the ground. The RN is the Rodney Dangerfield of bullets.


Some is Good---More is Better----Too Much is Just Right
