Ok thanks MISSED.
I'm currently using them for varmints but will be going on a trip to NSW soon which will also include pigs and goats and didnt want to change ammo.
Appreciate your help, P3CK3RZ

Ditto on missed comments. If the placement is good the results are excellent.

I recently shot 2 goats with Nosler BT with my Tikka .223. Both were neck shots and I was amazed at the amount of damage. vertebrae shattered, huge hole, instant death. I think you'll be pleased with results. :P

You should see how messy they are loaded as subs.
