There is Barnes's data. I tried hunting deer twice with this bullet but didn't get any shot opportunities. Although I have found various people using it with great success at TOS (not a member there so can't search) in their hunting section.

Borrow a ****ing deer rifle. :rolleyes:
Unless your deer are really scrawny.
(every day this place gets more like TOS)
300 blk or an SR25 ;-)
With good shot placement any of the quality barrier rounds work well. I have personally seen one large Michigan deer shot with the 62 gr TBBC and the damage was impressive. Best as I could tell the bullet path was close the heart and the heart split in four pieces.
Not ideal but serviceable.
Uh huh. Even though it's been shown time after time that .223 Remington is quite adequate for deer and similar-sized game, you dismiss it as being detrimental to this website to believe that.

Care to tell me what's wrong with that for deer? Compared to:

That's data published by Barnes. I've loaded Barnes TSX 70 gr bullets to 2800 fps which according to the Barnes info, it won't hit their recorded impact velocity until around 130 yards. For them it gave 20" of penetration. The 6.8 SPC data from them had their TSX penetrating to 24" and yet the 6.8 SPC is regarded as a deer caliber unanimously.
