bsa1917hunter Campfire 'Bwana B Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 48,024 Battle Born	Originally Posted by LBP Got this guy this morning with my Son's 223. I used the 60 gr Partition. Short shot 40 yards broke one rib entering destroyed the heart and broke one rib exiting. Deer was DRT not a step. Heres the enterance. LBP, Is that the stevens 200 or is it a different rifle? Great job on the deer, thanks for posting the pictures. I'm also assuming your using this load: 223 Pet Load Remington Case Trim 1.750 Weight Sorted Flash Hole Deburred Remington 7 1/2 Primer H4895 Powder 26.0 Grains 60 Grain Nosler Partition Bullet 2.30 OAL MV 3170 at 10 feet from muzzle Looks like it definately does the trick. I didn't get a chance to go deer hunting this year, but next year I think my daughter may go and she will be using my 223 rem Ruger Hawkeye. Best regards, bsa.

This is the entrance side. Deer went 20 yds and flopped: A game bullet would be more appropriate for game. V-Max = "V" for varmint. Please note the bullet selection that most other posters in this thread use. It will aid in your selection for a proper bullet with better results on avarage. The following quote is from the Hornady site and describes the V-Max. Quote Speed Kills!

I also took the doe on the previous page with the same combo a few days before the buck. She was DRT also not a step. You know a lot of folks seem to have problems with accuracy using the Partition. I guess we were lucky this was the first load we tried and consistently get 3/4" groups. I think thats pretty good for an inexpensive Stevens, its good enough for our purposes anyway. Notice I didn't call the Stevens cheap, its a lot of rifle for the money. Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have. The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming. Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

As I told you in another post, my friend bought one a few months ago and it is a tack driver. While breaking the barrel in, we shot a few groups that measured less than 1/2 inch @ 100 yds. Thanks again for posting the pictures of your kills and the performance of the 60 grain partition. I bought a couple hundred of the 64 gr. federal fusion bullets for my .223 and they shoot great out of my hawkey. I'm thinking about trying them on deer next year, but if I change my mind I think I'd go straight to the partitions and try your pet load out. bsa.

Then I had a local FFL dealer receive the rifle for me. I had to pay the dealer a small transaction fee ($20), but avoided state sales tax since I prepaid for the rifle out of state. I buy most of my guns this way. Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have. The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.

I'm just going to check the zero with a couple and give them a try. I tell you the 223 is unbelievably effective on our size deer out to 200 yards or so. I didn't know you could get the Fusions as a component, I might go with them if they work out. Where did you get the Fusions? Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man.

I killed my antelope the year before this at 706 yards with a 60 grain partion out of my VSSF 223, but the conditions were right that day.

GeorgiaBoy Campfire Tracker G Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 5,749 Georgia	Originally Posted by LBP I think I forgot to post a pic of the doe I got last week. Anyway, here she is, I got her at 100 yards. I hit her a little high and back from the shoulder, as she stepped into a dry creek bed right as I fired the shot. The bullet nicked the bottom edge of her spine and she went down DRT. I used my Son's 223 for her with the 60gr Partition. So you are having no trouble stabalizing the 60 partitions with 1:12" twist?

Moly'd, inserted ala 223AI at 161 yards. Both fronts punched, top of the heart, and a lung. Didn't go far. My 1 in 12 twisted barrel won't spin the 53's to my satisfaction. Best I've done with the 53's so far is about 1.5" groups, while the 45's shoot itty-bitty bugholes. I prefer precision....And results.
