menial 1 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Dwight, here in the UK we are not allowed semi auto centrefires. I would imagine there are very few who visit this site that have handloaded for .223 semi auto. Wish we could, but big brother says no. Pete.

Alycidon Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 How does that 15 cal bullet put Coyotes down?. Here the smallest we use normally is .17 in 17Rem and 17 Fireball (Mach 4), users do like them but tend use something bigger in a wind. I assume placement is a shade more critical or do you just shove it through the chest cavity and down they go?. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
