I would like to get opinions on the use of a 60 Gr .223 on Impala.
I have a 7 year old Girl that shot her first Blesbuck using a 55 Gr TSX at 100M. I found that the bullet performer perfectly and wasnt recovered on a broadside shot. The buck went about 15 M and collapsed with a perfect heart shot. Next up is Impala later this month.
The Rifle actually group - 5 shot 1/2" group @ 100M with 60 Gr Rhino bonded bullets and therefore switched from the Barnes to Rhino.
To be ethical I would not use this combination on anything bigger than Impala/ Blesbuck yet.
I believe with good shot placement the combination can bring down a Kudu?
This can turn into an interesting discussion and I would always stick to " USE ENOUGH GUN"
Pointers to take in consideration :
1) This rifle is super accurate.
2) The Groups are shot by an 7 year old.
3) The 60 Gr bullet penetrate almost 20" of wet compressed paper.
4)This girl continuously ring steel at 300m , shot for shot.
PS: She has ambition to become a PH one day...
Love to read the comments?
