Turns a 6mm rem into a 22-250 plus!

I've shot about a quarter of a box of these amazing little pills at roe and am very impressed indeed.

Obviously very little recoil. Effect on roe very good with less damage than a 90gr BT and really quite tough with 99% pass throughs even at a MV of 3,500fps.

This is a very light bullet even for our small roe deer. Never the less it works extremely well indeed.

I've seen the 55 grain .224 Hornady (regular, not SX) often recommended as a deer bullet because it tends to penetrate better than most .22 caliber varmint bullets. Your experience with the 70 grain .243 seems to bear this out.

I use the 70 grain SX in the 6 X 45. It's a little slower and seems to work very well on whitetails locally.
