Thread: 223 on deer

Has anyone used Speer gold dots? They're available in 55gr, 62gr, and 75gr as reloading components. Speer gold dots are rebranded as 62gr Fusion ammo in Federal's line up. How about Nosler's 64 gr bonded solid bullet (BSB)?

Seems like a lot of you like using suppressor on your 22rem, how do you like them? I noticed you shorten your barrels so to keep the overall length manageable. How short are making them, 16"?

Bought some 62gr Speer to try to supply a mate with a replacement round. The internet suggested the pill was not designed for deer. He used 100 rounds for hare ammo.

TeRei,

Those speer gold dot/fusion bullets are bonded bullets and have a good following in the states for deer and hog hunting. They're also cross-marketing to law enforcement.

Shows how much I know . My son shot 2 deer with 65gr Sierra . 1 on run and 1 facing. Flattened both of them. Some "old" pills still do the damage. Best.
