    .224 77gr Sierra Tipped Matchking

    Anyone tried these on deer? Looking for something a little heavier to run out of a howa mini in 223 and wondering how they compare to 70-80gr hornady ELD-Ms?

    77 TMK in and out on a fallow hind.
    They would work well on reds.

    And then paying for them is harder still...

    If they are too spendy the 80ELDM and 80 Targex do the same thing for $30/100 less.

    Thanks for the replies, will give them a go, hopefully they shoot well out of the howa mini.

    Seems like shooting deer with a 223 is a pretty hot topic.
