Favorite .223 load for deer? - 04/05/12
Started a new controversial thread. For those of us who have successfully taken deer or other large game with the impotent .223 I have had success with two loads. One being my favorite Barnes load that was intended for chucks but shot so accurately and penetrated so well I tried it on a fat doe with surprising results.
Barnes 45gr X (XLC) 28gr W748, The other is a factory Federal Premium 62gr bonded SP. The code on the box flap is LE223T3. Both great on deer in good hands.
