[QUOTE="01Foreman400, post: 2988976, member: 15783"] Thanks and we hunt in Georgia. I just recently had a discussion with a buddy of mine after his daughter killed her first deer. That was a fun hunt and I'm was honored to be a part of it. She used the rifle I setup for my kids. It's a 223 and I load the Barnes 62 gr. TTSX for it. I've killed several with it and I've seen close to 20 other deer killed with it. She made a perfect heart shot right at 100 yards away. That deer ran farther than any other deer that's been killed with it. Behind the shoulder and they go less than 50 yards. Most go less than 30. This one ran a little over 100 yards. I've seen deer drop with the behind the shoulder double lung and drop with a liver shot before. Every once in a while you get one that's got you thinking you made a bad shot though. Sometimes it is but sometimes they just run a lot further than they are supposed to. Some just don't follow the script. My favorite shot of within 200 yards is the high shoulder shot. Most of the time they are DRT. A pass through confirms it even more (which is where the copper bullets shine).[ATTACH type="full"]526701[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
