Do not have a picture of the 22 - 250 PMC Ammo
Performance, on the left is the 30 - 06 with the Barnes TSX, full copper round, perfect mushroom after transverseing a Zebra from the chevron above the front leg all the way diagonally to the belly, it was the only one we recovered from 4 animals, the rest all exited with massive exit wounds. The 22 - 250 and a fragment of its bullet. These never exited and fragmented internal to the animal causing serious damage internally:

Optics:
Leopold on the rifle, Ziess 10 X 25 and 8X30. The 10 X 25 was amazingly clear and to be honest I could not tell what advantage the 10 X 30 offered over it:
