I live in south Georgia and 22 centerfire is legal for deer down here. I was suprised myself to see people using 223 and 22-250 for deer. My ex-father-n-law uses an AR and he hasn't lost a deer since i have known him. I have a Sako Vixen in 222 that will shoot the pants off any 223 i haveshot. I plan to use it on some smaller deer (90-120 pounds) to thin our herd out a little this season. They have started to get a little dense. The bullets i am considering are the 60gr Nosler Partion and the 53 an 62gr Barnes X bullets. The 55gr Speer Trophy Bonded as well as the 55gr and Possibly the 65gr Sierra GameKing even thoughitsheavy. Has any one used these bullets? I use the partitions in my 06' and they are great so i figure they are my best bet.
