Thread: What weight 223 TTSX for deer

Pass throughs at 200 yards on pigs, reds and fallow bucks. Always kill. Have used them out to 275 odd yards.

I haven't used any other weight ttxs in .223 but am satisfied that the 55grn expands at longer range and kills well.

What twist rate are you using for those 55gr @Tahr?
