[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1737660, member: 78056"] If (which in this case is a very big word) I generally wouldn't try for a deer sized critter with less than a .243 and a 95 gr. Partition) I were going to use a .223 for deer, I would choose the 60 gr. Partition first and if it wouldn't shoot, then perhaps the 65gr. Sierra GameKing, which is very accurate out of my 16" upper. Maybe the 55 GK would work as well but it seems a bit lite to me. The Speer 70 gr. SP is listed as a Varmint bullet, I think I would be a tad leery of using it on a deer. Probably works fine on a perfect shot but there's always that shot that isn't, for some reason, perfect. Clearly they can work, but I'm not certain I'd want to rely on one. Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
