I've used 65 SGK and 64 Nosler Bondeds with success and they shoot better than the NPTs in my rifle.

If 60 grains is the minimum weight, I'd look at the 60gr Hornady spire point. I've killed quite a number of big game animals with it in my .220 swift. It worked as well as anything else I've ever used.

We use the Hornady 60SP also on deer here.
I think the Sierra 63SMP will almost guarantee to shoot well in a 14 twist. Sometimes the most accurate bullet period.

If you have a loaded cartridge in the field, how the puck are they going to check the bullet weight?
Rock on with a 50 TTSX
Ever heard of a battery powered scale and btw some game wardens will pull them to weigh them.

Load up some Barnes 50 gr ttsx and give em a go. The faster the better and will easily and ethically kill deer doornail dead. Gotta be 60gr or more TM-60 gr or more. DAMMIT Ingwe....Beat me to it again. OTOH SPEER 70 gr in my son's .223 w/14" twist shoots into MOA @ 2970+/-.

I shoot Nosler 64 gr. Bonded in my 223 Rem. with a 1-14 twist nice 3/4" 5 shot groups. Been using them on the big north woods coyotes 1/2" to 3/4" exit holes, should work great on deer.

Thought I'd post up a report. I got a sample pack from a member here. And did some real serious load development last night. I chose H4895, because I have plenty. Seated some 63 Sierras to fit in the magazine and tried them out this morning. They did this at 200 yards. ![[Linked Image]](http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e338/brstam/image.jpg1_zpsin7ldzqe.jpg) I know I missed the quarter, but do you think by playing around with the seating depth, adding or subtracting a few grains it might work.

That's plenty fine for deer.. You're not going to be tossing them much farther.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...
