Not the 53 grain, but my daughter killed several deer with 55 grain TSX. I'd not hesitate to use the 53 grain, or any Barnes mono on deer.

I took a nice doe with the 53 gr. TSX back in 2019. It worked fine. One shot, doe ran about 25 yards and was down. Shot was about 120 yards. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/bvJJq82R/IMG-20191230-105121.jpg)

Think.
It's not illegal, yet.

I’ve killed quite a few with it, very effective round especially on head shots.

Never seen that bullet fail. Obviously it doesn't kill quite as quickly as a big round and more expansive bullet but its the one we had around when the wife won a 223 bolt gun. Nothing has walked away from it. Caveat have not shot a deer past about 220 yards but gives exits, kills deer and pigs.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
