I loaned a buddy my .223 and his daughter shot 2 caribou with it in 2019. Ive never shot any "big game" with one.

I want to try the 77 grain tipped match king. I have killed two deer, and 3 pigs with a 5.56, tsx and swift bullets, I almost feel like it outperforms a 6.8 spc with 95 grain TTSX bullets.

And that there, is why I generally avoid bone whenever possible and try to put the bullet tight behind the shoulder. I'll take the occasional 50 yards runner, and VERY occasionally 100 yard+ runner to not have to deal with those bone fragments and that nasty, gritty bone marrow in the shoulder meat.

Bullet design and terminal ballistics have nothing to do with it. A 45gr SP is exactly the same as a 50gr mono, which is exactly the same as a 77gr How so? Please clarify. How is a 50 grain mono that retains 99-100% of its weight even remotely the same as a 45 that retains maybe 40% at best and a 77 that is the same as the 45 at best?? Confused here.

Maybe one of the stupidest phuqcking statements I have seen on here.
Quote the sentence before that, look at what I posted, and think a bit.

Works on about everything, monkeys to ele. Placement is to be considered of course.
I don't have a pic of the ele, and will spare you the pic of another critter.
I am..........disturbed.

My apologies. Correct. Sarcasm can be difficult to see when reading what someone writes, without hearing their tone of voice and verbal persona. BTDT.

Lots of pigs out to 225 yards with a 62 Barnes TTSX Yep. Great bullet along with the 60 gr Nosler Partition. I’ve taken a ton of hogs with those bullets and several deer too.

I am not a Barnes fan by any stretch of the imagination, for a few different reasons, but I have developed a fondness for the .224" 62 grain TSX.
It's a killer.
