Deer took a few steps. 62gr TSX @90 yards, broadside through shoulders. Again maybe 2 steps. 62gr TSX 100 yards, deer quartering on, though shoulder/knuckle, deer dropped RIGHT the [bleep] now, never so much as made a twitch. Fireforming load with 64gr PP, @25 yards though shoulder. Recovered bullet against hide on offside. I was present for this one that Paul shot. Deer was going hard away down hill. 70gr TSX at @50 yards went in behind shoulder, traveled into the neck, followed the length of the spine and exited between the eyes.

LBP, I would agree with MD on that, used them for years before a decent premium .22 bullet came out.Others here have done well with Sierra GK 63s gr and the now defunct Nosler Solid Base 60 gr. Since the advent of TSXs I cant see using alot else...don't need to avoid the shoulder even with the 53 grainers,others here like the 62 gr. TSX and even the 70 in the tighter twist rifles.Anyone of them are hard to argue with... Ingwe "...the left considers you vermin, and they'll kill you given the chance..." Bristoe

TSX, Partition, Swift, Gameking, Etc? I have only used the Partition in handloads. When I was a kid I used factory Remington 50 gr Power Lokts in my .222. It worked fine but I only took neck shots. I like to be able to shoot thru the shoulder if I have too. No complaints with the Partition so far. Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man.

As for .223, my 9 yr. old killed his 1st buck last year with the 53 grain TSX at 118 yards. Deer flopped.

Before getting a chrony I had a scary accurate load that was about 2900 out of my little CZ 527 with H322. I switched to RL 15 and now am getting 3200 with 27g. Accuracy is still sub MOA, and probably would be better if I could seat the bullet deeper; RL 15 fills the case pretty well. This load prints right with my groundhog load of 50g V-max�s. Just curious as to the acceptable window for this bullet as everyone advocates pushing the TSX�s FAST The truth angers those whom it does not convince

At your 2900 fps level I wouldnt worry about a thing till you get past 200-250 yds...... I got a perfectly expanded specimen of a 53 grainer out of a doe I shot with a standard .223 at an even 200 yds, complete penetration...picture book boolit...and I lost it of course.. My pards daughter just killed her first deer with a .222 and a 45 gr TSX at about that speed...nice big dude too! ingwe "...the left considers you vermin, and they'll kill you given the chance..."

That's what I thought, and the reason I changed powders (faster) after getting the chrony. I guess my MOA 3200fps load will be just fine then. I figured it would make a nice fur load for coyotes or bigger stuff if I take it out of the state. The truth angers those whom it does not convince

Knox, Kentucky we could only use 12 gauge slugs for deer. I seriously doubt your CO would let an automatic weapon out of the Arms room. I'm guessing the recruiter blew smoke up your a$$ You could buy your own shotgun and store it in the arms room. Thanks for your service to your country. whelennut I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

It is my son's Stevens 200 and I was using our pet load you listed. I also took the doe on the previous page with the same combo a few days before the buck. She was DRT also not a step. You know a lot of folks seem to have problems with accuracy using the Partition. I guess we were lucky this was the first load we tried and consistently get 3/4" groups. I think thats pretty good for an inexpensive Stevens, its good enough for our purposes anyway. Notice I didn't call the Stevens cheap, its a lot of rifle for the money.

As I told you in another post, my friend bought one a few months ago and it is a tack driver. While breaking the barrel in, we shot a few groups that measured less than 1/2 inch @ 100 yds. Thanks again for posting the pictures of your kills and the performance of the 60 grain partition. I bought a couple hundred of the 64 gr. federal fusion bullets for my .223 and they shoot great out of my hawkey. I'm thinking about trying them on deer next year, but if I change my mind I think I'd go straight to the partitions and try your pet load out. bsa.

Then I had a local FFL dealer receive the rifle for me. I had to pay the dealer a small transaction fee ($20), but avoided state sales tax since I prepaid for the rifle out of state.

There is tremendous deer hunting on many installations and I am sure all of them in Alabama will offer some opportunities. They won't let you use your service rifle though. You'll have to bring your own rifle or shotgun and you may have to store it in the armory. Checking it out will probably be a pain in the azz. You would probably do well to store it with a friend who lives off base. Also, lots of bases offer really good bow hunting so you might consider that. I was able to keep my bow in my room in a case, but you will just have to find out what the rules are for wherever you will be stationed. What is your MOS going to be?

The small buck was about 70yds broadside, he made it about 15yds before giving up the ghost. I'm pretty impressed with the performance, now if I can just catch one.

It came to rest under the skin of the off side. 55 grain Ultramax out of a 223 144 yard lung shot. It weighed 41 grains. I don't eat anything that didn't have a mother.

Amazing what one box of fairly cheap Black Hills reman. 60 Partitions has done...and we're still killing stuff with the same box...of course there was 50 rounds in there...

In all honesty, I don't think premiums (as in new super premiums) have changed the rules all that much. The good ol Win power points and other standard soft points did well for deer and antelope when I first was of age to hunt in the 90s. I killed a few pronghorns and deer back in high school with a .22-250 and had similar results to those pics posted above. Soft points at 223 velocities may have been different. I don't know.

I've used the Partitions the last 2 years with the same results on our little Central Texas deer. I have not even used another rifle since I started using the 223 and can't see where I'm giving up anything, except noise and recoil... Ingwe, thats a great idea about posting a link for Naysayers...

I am loving these kill pics. I have never thought of the 223 as a big game round, but my thinking is changing. I used to work with a guy here in WI that swore by 223's for deer hunting. Him and his son both shot them and if I remember correctly, they shot Black Hills Ammo. They hunted with a few guys that also shot the as well. All "Big G" used to say to me about them was, try them, you'd be pleasantly surprised at what they do on a deer. Dale The more you know, the less you need.
