I bought a 50 round box of 55gr soft point Hornady ammo, but haven't shot it, yet. Soon, hopefully.

My daughter is shooting 72gr ( I think... maybe 75) hornady BTHP. They shoot like $&&% at 100 but at 50 which is her max it will shoot under 1” Killed a 200# boar DEAD so I trust it with a deer.
62 federal fusion have filled a many a dump trailer for me.
Heck I’ve killed close to 200 hogs with America eagle fmj

I’m not endorsing this because I know there are better bullets available but these are my only two experiences with .223 and whitetail. Both were with a 55 gr Nosler Varmint bullet.
I killed my first doe with this round 7 years ago. It was a large doe. Shot was around 80 yards and I hit her in the lung. It was a perfect broadside shot. I say lung simply because it didn’t penetrate the second one. But it blew up the first lung and ran about 30 yards.
Second encounter was my girlfriend using this same round. She shot one and it also left no exit hole. The deer ran 60 yards at the most before it was down. It was also a lung shot.
