223/5.56;I tried the Winny 64 gr power point since Id heard it was a good bullet for deer and hogs. Only shot one doe on crop damage permit and it died where we couldn't find it,. Did not get a pass thru, and consequently no blood trail. I think Ill stick to Nosler partitions and Barnes TXs

precision is group shooting, accuracy is hitting your intended target.

Even the finishing shot didn't finish it. I hate seeing animals suffer and that's what I got from the 64PP. There are far too many good bullets for the .22CF cartridges today to use the Pp turd.

I think Ill stick to Nosler partitions and Barnes TXs 10-4, I killed a small 7 point pot roast deer last weekend with a 75 grain barnes shot thru the shoulder it did not exit and no blood trail. I found him about 50 yards away as I listened to him running as he fled the scene. I am going back to the 62 grain TSX for the rest of this season. A small exit wound is better than no exit wound.

Congrats to the young boys!! Super!!
I have had good luck with 64g Win PPs on deer-we (kids mostly)have killed 6-8 and every one was a pass through-some were bam flops some were short death runs pretty much within sight.

After Midway's package this week and shooting it in tonight it looks like 5.56, 60 Nosler Partition over case full of 3031 at least some of the time.
No one had the Noslers and then late last week everyone had them in stock.

Daughter #1 informed me tonight she will be requiring one of my AR's to hunt with next week. I think the Colt/mutt with the ACOG will fit her just fine and it will be shooting the 55 TSX's.
Pics to follow hopefully.

Me and my buds killed 4 caribou this year with AR rifles, 70 grain TSX bullets pushed by 22.5 grains of TAC. All critters were dead when they hit the ground. No big deal, did the same thing last year.

No big deal, did the same thing last year. That load sounds pretty slow. What was your velocity? I would have thought you could easily go to 24ish grains with no problem and get the velocity up for the TSX bullets.

Never did run it over the chrony. Lack of time and extras. I had to put a wanted to buy add in the on line classifieds to even come up with a pound of TAC prior to season this year.(loading for 4 others). Since it worked good the year before I went with it.
Pretty sure 62 grainers would punch right through as well.

I hunted this year with my Stag 6.8spc and RRA LAR-8 in 308. I killed a spike buck at 170yds with the SPC. I used a 110gr Sierra over Rel-10.
Deer didn't cooperate when carrying the 308, but it was loaded with 150gr SST over 748.

ordered some 220 gr Outlaw state bullets for the .300 BO. Not sure they will arrive in time for deer, but might be good for hogs...

Forgot about this thread, daughter killed a doe, perfect shot right behind the front leg. Deer ran about 50 yards and killed over, 55 gr TSX is still flying? ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v374/TOM64/image_zps8ceddf69.jpg) Doe season starts this weekend through next weekend so she still has my gun. I hope she brings it home after that...
