jhedg Report post Posted October 4, 2014 Shot placement of course is the key. Not like your hunting a 250lb Alberta deer my dog weighs more then most Coues. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted October 14, 2014 So how did the rounds shoot? Do you need some more, or do you want me to load you up some 70gr. TTSXs if you can get some? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1uglydude Report post Posted October 14, 2014 This is what a 70gr tsx fired from a 20" AR15 looks like when a kid shoots a doe right through the ham and square in the hip at 75 yards. Bullet recovered on the far side after traversing the width of the deer and weaving in and out of the pelvic bone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
