My FFL uses 65 grain GameKings on deer with great results and they are very accurate in the AR my daughter will be hunting with. Texas deer are not known for their size and and where we hunt I doubt we've ever killed a deer that dressed out at more than 100 pounds. So I'll stick with the GK's for right now.
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me.

If it works for you and her, stick with it.

I will, just don't see the need for a super tough bullet on our small whitetails.

Update, I was hired at Cabela's starting part time on Thursday. Will be working the gun counter. I found out Cabela's almost never hires people full time. You have to start out part time. I plan to see how it goes.

I prefer for her not to use a .223 for deer, it is okay for hogs because if we don't recover one it is no big deal. We don't have hogs here in these parts so I'm wondering why it's ok to wound & lose a hog, but not a deer.

Hogs are considered non-game animals down here. Pests, vermin, varmints.
I belong on eroding granite, among the pines.
