nice buck where did you hit him? Lungs?? He was running towards me and I hit him in the chest. Bullet exited between his front legs. Massive blood loss. I didn't do a necropsy but I'm assuming heart/lungs.

He shot him in the chest straight on with deer running straight at us. Pretty hard to figure how the lil cheap bullet made such a mess of the chest cavity but as alluded to early miracle do tend to replicate with the lil sp

I tried the 63gr. SMP in my .223 because they were so highly praised by members here.
I shot a spike at 200 yards with one this season, it was a clean pass through with a broken shoulder to-boot. Color me convinced.

Beautiful buck and a neat rifle, congratulations!
I love the 55 hornady and the 63 smp for deer. Forgive me for saying, but I prefer them to the "premium" bullets like the barnes tsx bullets. In my experience they kill quicker (not deader) than the tougher bullets.

I hear if you eat a few of those hornady's you can bench press 500 pounds and see through walls.

Now that I see the first page... LOL.. thats not the bullet choice that I'd be leaning towards with that speed.
But you can get away with a lot of things if the shot placement is correct.

My thoughts too Jeff but Pat ( Scenarshooter) put them to rest years ago. His Sako in .220 swift maintained a pretty steady diet through the early years and first few barrels......and you've seen his pics.....it works at .220- Swifto speeds....

That's a nice buck!
All these stunt shooting posts make me wonder why I keep hunting with anything above a .224 caliber.
