Dom.......no I have not tried them. I have thought about it though, just to see how they shoot. While I guess they might work alright on some of the little whitetails that are in parts of the south, I would hesitate to try using them on our big Canadian whitetails that approach the size of a central barren ground caribou bull.

In the right hands, careful shot placement, given the distance parameters you have set..........I have no doubt they will work, and I certainly would not hesitate to use them on a Roe.

Big difference between a Roe deer and a 300+ pound whitetail.
I guess my biggest concern is that I would not want to set those kinds of restrictions on myself when I am out whitetail hunting. If I see a big 5x5 at 250 or 300 yards I do not want to be handicapping myself with that kind of cartridge and bullet choice.

And for the guys going to get into head shots....that is not relevant. Any .222 bullet in the brain will put a deer down.....you wouldn't need a TSX.
