It'll work just fine but there're people who say its too small, there's also people here who have trouble killing deer with ANY rifle in their hands no matter what the chambering. I've only ever killed whitetails from 20-450yds with a 223/223AI using 50Vmax's, 60partition's, 62TSX's, and 75Amax's. I won't even count the fast twist 22-250/22-250AI kills. Wife and I have killed 5 with the just the 60 partition the past couple seasons and I've recovered 3 of those bullets. Never had a 62TSX stay in a deer, the other bullets came apart. I'm back to using the TSX full time.
