[QUOTE="BAKPAKR, post: 2005915, member: 114021"] My daughter and I have shot a handful of whitetails with a 223 and a 556 using 62 gr Barnes TTSXs and 77 gr Sierra TMKs. Both bullets worked well. The farthest with the Barnes was a little over 100 yards. The farthest with the Sierra was a little over 230 yards. The longer shot was out of a 14.5” barrel and it was the only bullet that did not exit. With my daughter’s 22.4” Tikka, I would not hesitate to shoot a deer at 300 yards, or possibly a little farther. However, if you don’t get an exit, I don’t think you will see much blood — that entrance hole is small. [/QUOTE]
