I’ve killed a handful with the 223 and the 70 grain Speer RN. The bullet stays together and all have exited. All the deer died. Most ran, one dropped. The blood trails left something to be desired. I like hunting with it, but have decided to stick with bigger stuff for a better tracking job. I know a lot of guys like the copper bullets, but I’m cheap and like shooting cup and cores at reasonable velocities. I’ll probably use it again for deer, but there are better rounds out there, IMO.
