I've been using the 50 grain Nosler BT at 3200 FPS out of my CZ 527 to head shoot hogs for a couple of years now. I killed a feral barbado sheep several years ago with the same bullet at 103 yards. I hit him right on the point of the shoulder since he was angled towards me. He went straight down and never moved. I let my wife use the rifle this past weekend and she shot one big boar through the lungs with that same load. I was afraid we were going to have a long search or never find it. That pig only went about 15 yards before going down. I'd use that 50 grainer on deer.
I've used the Winchester Ranger PP for at least 10 years in my AR and have killed a truck load of axis deer with it. Since it's no longer in production I did some searching and testing and found the Speer Gold Dot 75 grain factory ammunition shoots really well in my rifle. I've killed two javelinas with it and look forward to using it on a deer at some point.
The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!

I’ve used the 62 TBBC on several deer, never caught one.
Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

I doubt it, but does anyone have a source foe 62gr TBBC?
Thanks.
Frank I got mine from Rocky Mountain Reloading, but I haven’t seen them on their website for a few years.

These cost $0.18 a pop and I haven’t had a deer stop one yet. And they’re available. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1010619848?pid=126472

I always used 70gr Speer semi-spitzers. They were short enough to stabilize in an A-Bolt I had at the time and worked well on deer.

I like the 55 grain TSX for deer, the only other bullet I used for deer was the 63 grain Sierra SMP. The Sierra was the heaviest bullet I could get to shoot well in my 1:12 twist M70. The 63 SMP worked well, but all things equal give me the TSX/TTSX.

The 63 SMP worked well, but all things equal give me the TSX/TTSX. I use the 63 SMP Sierra and the 70 SMP Speer on deer, with no failures... The TSX and TTSX are an upgrade that are really NOT needed, but it is certainly a nice upgrade and is just more of a good thing... Don't ya love a question that has NO Wrong Answer!

Used the 70 gr Speer, 63 gr SMP, and 55 gr Sierra and Hornady. 25 yds to 225 yds in my sampling. They all worked with neck and boiler room hits.
But not one exited, possibly cuz they were launched from a .22-250........

My 223/223ai's are still killing deer with the 62tsx and 75amax. Still have a few hundred 62tsx left and 5k 75amaxs. I'll probably try something new when those are gone.
