I hand loaded the 60gr partitions for my .223 for deer and I shot a 1" group with my Ruger. I have not had a chance to use them on game yet. I wanted to use the 70gr TSX bullets but they are so long the box says they are recomended for a 1:7 to 1:8 twist. I would use the 60gr partition, 53gr TSX or the Trophy bonded, all three should do a good job. I am going todouble lung them though, I don't care for neck shots.
