223 Deer Ammo

[GRC566]

The Winchester Silvertip have worked really well for me.

 

[wolfmanrogers]

64 Grain soft point or a Barnes Copper bullet 70gr or bigger. Avoid polymer tipped varmint bullets. They have thin jackets and softer lead. You want penetration in the event you hit bone, not immediate and dramatic expansion.

I can recommend Barnes Vor-Tx, 55 grain TSX ammo.
My daughter used that round on deer when she began hunting. I killed a couple with it myself. Almost all were DRT…a couple ran but not far at all.
Monolithic bullets seems to perform better with more speed, that is why I went with the 55gr.

I have had great luck with the 62 grain nosler varmageddons to the neck and the hornady 55 grain v max

 

[MuleShoe]

62 grain federal fusion and I’ve got pmc gold 55grain soft point that works well.

 

[Kestas69]

62gr federal fusion and 75 gr speer gold dot. 16” barrel 1:8 twist

what 223 Factory ammo do you recommend for whitetail deer? 100 yards maximum shot.

I shot 3 side by side with this. Dead right there. I couldn't find much of their hearts when I gutted them.
