[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 1246503, member: 28741"] Thanks for the experienced input WR. Nice shooting with the Ruger 204! I hope I get the chance on a fair distance one like that with my 7RM + Barnes 120 TTSX loads. I want to try out the 243 + 85 TSX too, which is very accurate and fast. Yes, I've seen plenty of videos of them being killed with .223s one way or another; head shots @ 100 yards, helicoptors mowing down wild herds on the run, etc. Barnes are good penetrators, and expand well in the mid - upper 2Ks for sure. I've only shot a few, but they've dropped like a stone with a 130 TSX from a 270. Don't know if the ones here in Tx are like the ones I encountered in Calif., but those were tough ones in the sense of thick shoulder shield on male. The 6.5G ballistics in terms of carry & accuracy look great, but the low starting MV makes me wonder a bit. I'd really like to build one up with custom barrel and all, but for the dough, maybe do a 6.5 Creed AR10 instead if I can keep the weight down. **** if H gets in, pistol grips will be the first to go, then removable mags, so much head scratching now... Despite the rumors of wild hogs everywhere down here, I haven't seen any free path to them yet. Little public land like we have back in Cali. but I will persevere. Main thing I care about is a quick kill. [/QUOTE]
