    Hunting & Fishing White Tails with 123 Scenars

    Re: White Tails with 123 Scenars I had good shot placement on both animals. The Coyote dropped in its tracks, the deer ran about 50 yards. I am getting around 2850 with RL - 15 before I start getting pressure sign, I really need to try some other powders to rev them up a little faster.

    Hunting & Fishing White Tails with 123 Scenars

    What kind of terminals are you seeing with this pill? I shot an eight pointer at 200 yards. Good pass through...probably too good, not much expansion. The exit would was pretty small. Shot a coyote as well....seemed to pin hole there as well. I'm thinking of going to another projectile...A...

    pierced primers

    Re: pierced primers There are alot of threads on this. Mined does not pierce the primers but leaves a good creater at any charge. Some folks with this round have to have the firing pin bushed...run a shearch.
