With all the 223 talk on this forum Im thinking about giving my 223 a run on deer this fall. What bullet/load do you guys like?

Thanks

I've killed with 64gr Power Points, 75gr Swifts and 62gr TSX. Haven't had a bad experience with any of them, the only one I've ever recovered in a deer was the PP and it was a RCH from making it all the way through. It weighed 57grs.

Have seen deer killed with 53 and 70gr TSX also.

The 62gr TSX is generally what I stick with and I do drill shoulders.

going to give the 45gr TSX a run next season. Should make a good deer bullet. HAPPY HUNTING

What powder do you use? How far have you killed der with this load/bullet?

H335 and a couple at 100 yards or so.

Do you feel 100 yards is about max?

Nope

Onside shoulder at 100yards with 62gr TSX (destroyed some serious bone) and exited. Thinking 101 yards wouldn't be pushing it, nor 200.

Dam! Can't wait to give em a try.

53 gr TSX over 25.5 H335 has worked very well for me.
