222 Barnes TSX on Deer

[HPBTMTCH]

Have not tryed the barnes bullets, but have taken many deer with the .223, and 62 gr. hp bullets. Last year killed 3, 200 lb does at over 300 yards, so the 222 at 100 should be okay. The only one that did`nt expire quickly was a 100 yard head shot. I watched the impact right in the back of the head, which was turned just slightly. The deer staggered, acted a bit dazed, and ran off. The bullet must have glanced off the skull, and not caused a lethal wound. A search found nothing, and a neighbor mentioned they killed doe that had a head injury, so not even a head shot is a sure thing. That was the first (and hopefully last) unsuccessful shot. All others had been facing.
