With a 53gr TSX or even a plain old 55gr Hornady sp or Nosler ballistic tip you can break BOTH shoulders on deer.


I’d be completely comfortable taking any shot I’d normally take on any deer with a 223 and a decent bullet.


This one got both shoulders broken with a 53 gr. TSX..and he's about as big as they get. He stopped when the bullet landed... Wife made a good behind the shoulder shot with a .30-06 and he was motoring fast towards a knife edge ridge I did NOT want him to get over, so I stopped him.....
