I tried that bullet and frankly could not get it to shoot to my satisfaction. Shot a couple deer with it and actually felt the damage was excessive-ruined a lot of meat.


Others have reported better results though...


I killed one big doe with the 64 before they were discontinued and I moved on to the 65 Game King. Got good enough accuracy with CFE223, not 1/2 moa but plenty for 200 yd deer. Plunked her through the ribs and she hardly seemed to notice, walked about 30' and fell over like Arte Johnson.
