Has anyone tried the Winchester Power Point 64 grain bullet? Yeah, they were accurate enough for deer sized game at 200 yds and under... If they were free, and the 63 SMP Sierra or the 60 grain Sierra HP cost me money, I'd still use these two Sierras.... Have you used the 60 grain Sierra HP on deer?

I have and it resulted in too much, and shallow, damage.
I very much prefer the 63gr SMP.

Blacktails, yeah... usually mature run on average 110 to 150 lbs...but can get bigger...

Sounds like I need to find a specific use for the ones I have.

Good. I'm going to load and shoot them. We'll see if I can make them go straight.

64's kill deer and hogs real well out of a 22/250! Smack Down's My plan is to run some out of a 8" twist 22-250. Do you have any data on them?

I load the 65 grain Game Kings in Winchester brass with CCI-41, and 26.5 grains of CFE223 that gets a velocity of 2960 out of a 16" 1-8 twist AR. Groups under an inch at 100 yards. I actually was trying to develop a load for a Ruger #3, but that particular load proved more accurate in the AR. I did shoot a deer last year with the #3 with that load at about 60 yards and the bullet went through both shoulders with a good exit would. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/eH0ktgQ.jpg) My buddy just got a bunch of the 62 grain game kings. Going to make a trade so I can test some out in a 1-12 twist Remington.

I've done a BUNCH of killing with the 64 Win PP out of .223 in both a 1-9 and a 1-8 twist. It is my favorite hog killing bullet. I got a bunch of them at a really good price so have been running them for years.

I've burned hundreds of these 65gr SP and thousands of 55gr V-Max. On a deer or coyote I see no difference. They both do well. I poked a nice 9pt with a solid neck shot with a 55gr V-Max at 200yrds... dont over think it.
