For those who hunt with .224 caliber bullets, based on your experiences, would you be confident taking a 200 lb deer on a quartering shot?
If so, with what sort of bullet and at what impact velocity?
I'd do it without hesitation. Using the 50 or 55 gr. Barnes TSX at about 3700 FPS
Impact velocity of 3700 FPS?
What I'm wondering is what the effective range of a .224 bullet, but range depends on muzzle velocity which determines impact velocity at some distance.
Assuming you meant 3700 FPS, out to what distance would you be confident taking a quartering shot?
