Bought a batch of Nosler 64 gr. Bonded bullets for the CF .22s, worked up a load in the .223AI Shot a deer with it the other day, and while butchering today did a thorough post mortem. 2 shots, first one mid ribs,but it exerted enough pressure to pop the diaphragm and the stomach, leading me to believe shot was too far back. Made a mess inside that we had to rinse out in the creek�2nd shot- buck was thinking briefly about topping out on a hill and going where we didn't want him to go, so it was a high shoulder shot to anchor him. Went through both shoulders, right under the spine, broke the off shoulder and caused massive tissue damage, oddly enough on the entrance side. Second bullet was recovered under the skin, easy 2X expansion and a retained weight of 60 grains. Excellent. These shots were barely over a hundred yards, with a MV of 3150 fps. Im impressed.

how do you like them compared to the 53grain TSX? I gotta say I like the TSX better when working on the meat, its a whole different and cleaner wound channel characteristic �that would go for all the TSXs�. No difference in how quick it kills. Accuracy is good with both, but one of my .22-250s with a 1 in 14 twist doesn't like the Nosler. My AI is a 1 in 12 and they shoot great out of it.

10-4, I am back at the 62 grain TSX again myself. I like a pass thru and for a shoulder shot the 75 grain Swift failed me.

And I am farting around with some 55 TTSXs and will also try the 62s when I can get some�.mainly cause I like farting around with loads. Lots of them are good, accurate, and effective, but the TSX or TTSX is hard to beat, especially in the little guns�.

Oh ye of little faith. I started this with the intent of it being an insightful and informative thread. I can't believe you would think otherwise��..

Which one of them is the 64 gr. Nosler? Have you been hoarding them?
Nice pink rod. Just sayin.

Did she do an article for Flyfishig magazine? It was about Steelhead in the Pacific Northwest. Cover story too I believe.

Thanks for the report, Ingwe. That 64 sounds promising. I think you'd like the 62 TSX a lot too.

I'm sure she did, its April Vokey and she is as skilled and as experienced as any flyfisher on the planet. Cool to watch her with a Spey Rod.
