5.6x52R Bullet
Has anyone used this bullet in their 5.6x52R barrel?

Moeller 5.6 Geschosse

Would it kill a Roe (Reh) deer at 200 meters humanely?

Danke,

LD

Roe deer are not difficult to kill, a Hornet into the boiler room should do the job.

Both the 5.6x52 and the 5.6x50 R Magnum are said to kill them extremely well, problem seems to be blood-shed meat.

The copper bullets manufactured by Lutz Moeller are said to be a little harder, I tried them only in Hornet, .308 and 9.3 mm. Precision is usually VERY good.
