Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Best deer bullet for 224 Valkyrie

Thanks I can’t step out of the house without him on my heels wanting to go look for sheds or shoot a 22.. I don’t push anything on him I just let him show me what interest him.. Outdoors,fishing an hunting is all he talks about

As long as it is accurate in your gun, I would just use the 90 gr Fusion load. Especially at the ranges your son is likely to use it at over the next few years.

It’s odd my savage msr 15 224 Valkyrie will not shoot the federal fusion for some reason. 6 inch groups at 100. It will shoot the 75 grain Hornady Black 5 shots into a nickel at 100

Whats wrong with that?

At the velocity it produces, at fairly short range I'd imagine, I'd say you could use a bunch of different ones. If you know the 75gr Hornady shoots that well, I'd be focusing on buying more of those, or loading them yourself by the bagful. Have the boy shoot a bunch, the deer will be in the pictures.

My boys started at 4, hunting at 6. If he's into it and focused, he'll be fine.

agree with magnum bob and battue: let the boy grow up. maybe the dad benefits from it more than the boy

Unlike some dads I very much appreciate my boys an will be with them every step of the way as grow an develop into young men.

I have had a lot of success with the Winchester 64 grain SP bullet in my AR rifle and my single shot.

Yep, and the 64 Nosler Bonded is right there with it. They penetrate and devastate.

I have been able to get deer accuracy out of them with every rifle that was twisted right. My Savage LWH loves them. 25.5 grains of W748 loaded to 2.255 ignited by a Rem 7 1/2 gives .65" groups.
