    Where can you purchase the resizer/hollow point tool? Also, is it available in other calibers? Would be interested in .223.

    Hello,

    Check in with D Rock at Rimfire Central. He makes them.

    I should note that I do not have any financial interest in this. I just think it's a great product!

    I do not believe it would work on .223 as the bullet is internally lubed, not heeled, and would be pushed into the case. I don't suppose it would hurt to ask him though!

    Hello,

    Update:

    I just took another one that was on my range near the 75 yard marker. No time for 'scope dial-in; I cranked it to 100yds on the objective and fired, using Kentucky windage. I hit it right behind the ribs.

    Instant pile-up. It thrashed for less than five seconds. A LRN at this range and placement would have let it run - I've even nailed squirrels with Remington subsonic HP (no expansion) in the chest and they've required follow-up shots.

    At this range it was going about 1040fps, maybe a hair less due to the changed BC.

    I still don't believe in hydrostatic shock below 2,000 fps or so, but I'm starting to reconsider other types of shock which I've dismissed in the past.

    How about now? Shouldn't say bandwidth exceeded any longer; different host.

    Other boards are no longer having problems...?
