Was actually supporting your photographic evidence of a Dikdik blown in half....sorry you missed that.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know what a high velocity 160 X is going to do to a 10 pound critter at 55 yards shot in the guts.............

I concure that there are a lot of experts out there who can't be told a thing and that be a key part of the problem regarding ballistics, and cape saving shot placement...I'd figure.

I can tell you one thing, a 168 TSX at 2860out of a 30-06 is a meat wrecker on northern whitetails, and thus I've gone to a smaller caliber as a result. Win/win, and the '06 is happy with just bear duty.......
