[QUOTE="Mike D Texas, post: 2982143, member: 71221"] I disagree and that's ok. Yes of course they are both dead but the premise of that thread is that .223 is all that's needed to kill most anything in NA and the focus is on trauma imparted by the .223/TMK combination. To compare wound tracts from 2 completely different types of bullets that are literally on the opposite ends of the spectrum on how they create wounds invalidates the comparison for me. As I said, use the same or at least the same type of bullet in both cartridges and then do a comparison. I would consider that a valid comparison. I can definitely say that the wound tracts are vastly different on a .224 Barnes bullet than they are with a TMK. I've shot 70 grain Barnes TSX bullets in my 22-250AI on large pigs for years. They work, but they are slower kills, lesser would trauma and lesser blood trails that a traditional cup/core bullet. [/QUOTE]
