The Hornady 75 grain amax and hollow points both work very well.
Probably 10 years ago or so I had a 223 set up for 50 grain vmax and 53(maybe 50) tsx. Anyway I had shot a few deer with the tsx load and it worked as well as anything else. A coworker wanted something “that didn’t kick” for his wife to shoot a deer with. So I sent him off with that rifle and a box of the vmax load to let her practice some and the tsx load to shoot deer with. To make a long enough story short he forgot which was which. Because the vmax had the same plastic tip on them like the “shells for his 7 mm” he used them to hunt with. He enjoyed the rifle more than she did and shot several deer with it. When he brought it back I noticed he had shot up almost all of the vmax load and very few of the tsx load. He didn’t know any better and neither did the deer.
