[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 4300479, member: 12277"] If I were forced into using a 223 for deer, I'd prefer the heavier Barnes TSX bullet. Reason is to maximize the chance of an exit hole for a better blood trail. I'd prefer it even over the old reliable Nosler Partition as I would expect more exits with the TSX since it retains more weight and is harder with somewhat less frontal area most of the time. Tiny little bullets that blow up and don't exit work good - until they don't - and then you have no blood trail to follow and in a thicket that ain't good. Somehow I was placing your age in mid to late 30's rather than retirement age. Must have you crossed up with somebody else here! :mrgreen: Congratulations on the retirement. I intend to follow along that same path in 3 years myself. [/QUOTE]
