[QUOTE="GunsnFitness, post: 1738544, member: 104411"] I know this thread is about the .223, and I’ve seen the bullets mentioned in .223 as well... but I gotta give the nod to the 78g Barns TSX. This pass weekend the Mrs. and I both harvested mule deer does with my .224 Valkyrie shooting federal factory ammo loaded with the 78g TSX... and proof was in the pudding... [ATTACH]154590[/ATTACH] Her doe, shot at 180 yards, struck rib on entry, liquified the lungs and left that on exit. 10 yard recovery. I assume striking bone on entry caused maximum mushrooming immediately and the results were devastating . [ATTACH]154591[/ATTACH] my doe exit at 200 yards. struck in front of the shoulder in the neck, exited in front of the shoulder on the other side. Stoned her. Zero steps. now for those that say it was a Valkyrie and not a .223... I get it, but at those distances there’s not much advantage to a Valkyrie over a .223. 78g TSX is a great way to go for a .224 caliber deer bullet. Definitely a viable deer killer. [/QUOTE]
