Thread: 223 on deer

Sorry if mentioned already in this long thread, anyone else use speer 70gr semi-spitzer sp? I'm flinging them at 2850fps and my Howa with a 1/8" twist absolutely loves them, It really lives up to the "eyeball gun" nickname at 100 yards. Recently shot my biggest fallow buck at 65 yards and it was 1 shot kill, he stumbled about 20 metres before dropping. No blood trail which did concern me a bit.
I should've taken autopsy photos, I hit the shoulder bone a tad high but it penetrated through and mushroomed through both lungs before stopping just shy of the skin on opposite side. Good balance of penetration and expansion I reckon, but it's sort-of an old school looking blunt projectile.
