Looks like a crotch shot. Poor bastard.

Quartering towards me. That was the exit hole. His Boiler room was definitely leaking badly out the other side. IMG_6090.JPGIMG_6089.JPG

Big moon and snow cover. Perfect.

.223 or .204

This may help sort it out for you. I'd be going with the .204 and a 40 grain bullet especially at greater distance e.g. 500 yds http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=.204+caliber+reviews&&view=detail&mid=CCE7BBDB46E65D54867FCCE7BBDB46E65D54867F&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3D.204%20caliber%20reviews%26qs%3DHS%26form%3DQBVDMH%26sp%3D1%26pq%3D.204%20caliber%20reviews%26sc%3D1-20%26cvid%3D7B83DB141028462A8BB2E594A2C5FDEE

Probably never shoot past 200. Flat to that distance at 4300 feet per second.
Hornady Superformance Varminter 32 grain.

I shoot 40 gr bullets from my .223, best performing bullet weight should be determined by number of twists in barrel

I think it may be a little more complicated than that. Just some aspects such as the trajectory coefficient of that particular bullet design, the velocity of the particular projectile at a given distance, the knock down power of that particular projectile at a given distance, and more subjectively how the particular cartridge from a manufacturer fires from your particular firearm (even the same ammo may fire slightly differently in another gun of the same make and model.

Sk8man is correct - all cartridges are not created equal. Certain guns shoot certain cartridges better.  Sure it takes extra time & money to figure it out, but once you find it's favorite load, you'll be at that weapon's peak performance curve.

Still running, nobody home when he was out.

I missed one Saturday night around 2am, still feeling sorry for myself.

No reasonable excuse, I suck!!

Next time!!
