[QUOTE="fordy, post: 2959979, member: 120504"] Gday Geraldhawai Love to hear your chasing the tiny ten Which ones are you after first or you going whole hog & try all in one On pill selection This indeed is one can go a few different ways & on the above posts gives you some insight Here’s another couple options for you to consider & overall will give you a good outcome for full mounts & minimal cape damage First is take a look @ impala bullets as their CFN solid in 224 does a good job @ giving little hole in & out but ( these type of projectiles give bigger permanent wound channels than a penciling pill ) here’s where you’ll run in to trouble with them as you need to adjust your velocity to ideally no more than 2500 ( preferably 2400&below I like 1800 to 2000 & use to use dual loads ) impact as once you get to the likes of the impacts above this the likes of the suni , blue & grysbok as a example once you get above these velocities impacts you have a higher chance of significant cape damage but sometimes all goes well One of my mates I think has now switched to the perigine 224 solid but still uses those velocities it has a bit bigger meplat I am told . so as long as it feeds would be a good option imo personally not shot that one The other option is to use one of those bullet in 224 that have a good boat tail & grab some of those & turn the pill backwards & shoot that & stay with the velocities above The reason I used dual loads was if your critter is out a bit you use a range card to predict your impact velocity & choose the appropriate bullet ( I colour coded ea load 3 were max I had but 2 works well ) just confirm impacts & use a drop chart as normal If your after the likes of klipspringer also be aware that their hair has issues of blowing patches off @ high velocity impacts & once again moderate to low impact is way safer but ranges can also get fairly varied depending on your hunting area so dual loads work well once again The best thing you’ve already considered is using the 223 &another great option is the humble 22lr or 22mag with solids even hp in 22lr these work well & no real cape damage Shot placement turn a 4x4 to a 4x2 & game over fairly quickly with these solids (22lr I’d be cautious on te bigger ones but it will work if it’s a good pill ) Hope that help’s & whatever way you go please report on how your trip goes Cheers [/QUOTE]
