Fallow deer: "Adult bucks are 140�160 cm long and 85�95 cm shoulder height, and 70-100 kg in weight; does are 130�150 cm long and 75�85 cm shoulder height, and 40-50 kg in weight. Fawns are born in spring at about 30 cm and weigh around 4.5 kg. The life span is around 12�16 years."
100 kg is 220 pounds. That's as big as a big lower 48 Whitetail !
If I had to use a 223, it would be the 60 gr partition or 70gr TSX and use shoulder shots. (break em' down on the spot).
60 gr. NPT, yes.
70 TSX, no.
That bullet needs way more speed to perform than the .222 can dish out. Go lite for caliber with monometals and push hard. I'd shoot a 50 TSX as hard as it would go, or stick with the NPT.
