I took a large mature Doe this years with a 223 Barnes 55gr TSX. 130yrd broadside shot and had a total pass through with a textbook wound channel. I typically would have taken a neck or head shot but wanted to see what the monolithic bullet would do. I'm impressed.
These modern bullets has really made these smaller calibers competent deer killers. This will probably be my sons first center fire rifle. No recoil, not loud, accurate, and cheap to shoot.
