Thread: The “you can’t go wrong” .223 load

for deer my favourite load is now a 50grn ttsx...the terminal preformance is just too good to let go of. it makes the humble wee .223 a giant slayer,even the pig that I thought was about 80lb and turned out to be closer to 140lb and a boar to boot....didnt stand a chance,slipped round in behind his shoulder ,it pokked good sized hole through his internals and broke offside leg,he was very sick animal and going nowhere.shot another pig with same load...in spotlight this time at closer to 200 than 100 yards....through and through rib shot,did enough damage to internals to put it down fast....the preformance on deer is like a rem corloct .270 but damage is in opposite direction...eg more on nearside and less on farside.
