Hunting & Fishing Antelope/deer 223rem bullet?

[ubet]

I want to drop an antelope and deer with my ar15 this fall. All I have loaded for it are 77gr cc noslers. Would the 70 or 62gr tsx be a better choice? If not, what bullet would you recommend? Rifle has a 1/7 twist 14.5" barrel, plus muzzle break. Thanks

What you have will more than likely work just fine. If you find yourself bored, or maybe need some on the john reading, I wrote a little diddy on bullets, theres even something on antelope in there. its ripe with opinion and conjecture, so its sure to help...

Thank you for that. I've dropped 1 elk, 2 deer, 1 antelope and a pig with my 308 and 175smk. Just wasn't sure on the 556 and using a hpbt to drop a deer or antelope.

That 77 grain will work but the Nosler 64 grain bonded bullet will probably get you two holes in any critter you're chasing.

I use the 70 grain TSX. They work very well.

What state? 223 is illegal for big game in Colorado, and some others.

And it is legal in many. Wyoming now allows it for Pronghorn.

I have the 64gr bsb, but haven't tried them passed 100yds. I can try some 70tsx for load development and run them against the 64gr bsb.

I'm in Montana, it just needs to be a centerfire cartridge

A 55gr TTSX might work more efficiently within your AR's mag. length, and should still make two holes in a deer or goat...
