On lung shots comparing my 45/70 with a 405 Speer VS a 223 with a 55 grain Barnes ttsx I've seen better results with the 223. I've mentioned this before and yes it always seems to piss of those with big man syndrome!

I like 224's on deer sized critters but damned if I've ever seen any ass to front or vice versa a deer; the 45 does it with wee handgun cases....
I wouldn't bet against a 50 or 55 grain TTSX going length wise through a deer, especially in one of the hotter 22 caliber cartridges.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
