Just repeating what’s been reported so many times in this thread, but last week I carried my 223 loaded with 77gr TMK’s and left the 30/06 in the case. First time I’ve hunted with this gun or caliber.
A nice doe at 154 yards and a decent 6 point at 70ish yards in thick woods at last few minutes of light didn’t know the difference. Doe dropped in her tracks, the buck did a 30 yard death dash before piling up.
It was awesome actually seeing the hit and deer drop on the open field 154 yard shot. The woods shot was threading the needle through a small opening and I could only see the target area of him at the shot. It was from a sitting position on the ground.
Super happy with the performance of the round, enough that I’m going to hold off on building up a 6.5 Grendel for now.
