loaded up 20 of them the other day and took rifle for a quick zero check on my range (cardboard box in field), set at 165 yards. shot 3 of my 125 b tips to check zero prior to hunt yesterday and shot a 1.1" group. then immediately shot 3 110's which gave a 1.3" group 1" to the left, so i clicked right 2 clicks and went to pack my stuff.
the cull stalk yesterday morning saw a huge munty (couldnt see head which was obscured by powerpole), a young roe (difficult to sex), a fox, the orphan brother of the calf that was shot last time (not sure what happened to the mother but the calf that was shot last time got lucky, his brother ended up rotting on a track, starvation?), and old roebuck (being saved for the summer) and finally an old roe doe in woodland.
the sticks went up, i mounted the R93 and could i see her - nowhere.. looking again, nowhere, and again - there she was, broadside.
the 110 grain struck home exactly where i wanted it, missing the shoulder, through the lungs, she ran less than 10 yards.
some hair and a small piece of flesh at the site of the strike, no blood. inspection revealed a nice 1" exit which hade destroyed the lungs on the way through, with a furher 1 1/2" bruising around the exit, a very acceptable level of damage. she weighed 35 lbs in the larder, was blind in one eye and the shot was about 140 yards, which i was very pleased with.
later on we took the chrony to the range and tested the ammo at the target end, the strike on the deer was probably at about 2600 fps which concurs with the ballistic calculator figures.
initial findings are less brutal than the 125 b tips, but i need to try a few more soon.
