So, im familiar with shootin deer with the 223 and all, it aint exactly the the first caliber id snatch up for deet but i have one and its for my wife to use. She likes shootin the 223 as my 30-06 scares her some. She shoots it very well also. Any reccomendations on a good bullet for deer hunting. Otherwise ill just get some power points or hornadys.

I'm using the 62 grain Federal fusion. I'd rather use a corlokt but I wanted a heavier bullet, so I went with the Fusions.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

I'd get some hornady reduced recoil loads for your 30-06 and let her try those
We will burn that bridge when we get there

60 grain Nosler Partition. Shot several with them. My 223 doesn't shoot the Barnes very well.

For what its worth my son killed one this past Sunday with Federal Fusions 62 grain. The first shell did not fire (primer was struck). The next one did and the bullet did what it was supposed to do.
With that being said I have ordered a box of Barnes already. If it was the Ar platform most likely the BCG was not fully in battery. The trigger will pull and strike firing pin but will not strike primer. Just chambering a round in a ar platform will leave a strike on primer due to the floating firing pin. Its a good a idea to look and hit forward assist to insure weapon is in full battery. Jus seen it was bolt gun sorry.

I'd get some hornady reduced recoil loads for your 30-06 and let her try those I shot some 150gr Fusions in my 30-06 this weekend and was shocked at how mild the recoil was. It was noticeably less than my .308 shooting 165's. It was downright pleasant to shoot.
