Have you not seen Game of Thrones?Time for you to declare you are King of your Castle.
Actually, I'd recommend not saying that. Especially around 10:45pm after too much Bourbon.

2 evenings ago I had no exit with the 6 arc and 108 eldm. 200ish yards, no heavy bone impact, just behind the shoulder. Absolutely grenaded the insides tho. 150#ish Doe. It's also a sample of 1. Seemed to be one that was just tough, she reared back and hit the dirt, thought it was a drt, but got up and took off. Went about 100 yards, then went down in the field.
Guess I'll put the next one thru the shoulder.
Good bit of experience with .260 and 6.5C with Amax snd ELD-M’S (140&147), seems to be a consistent exit performance on WT.
Great info. Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!I would shoot bone with 77TMK’s and be done. However, baring that- in 223 for exits generally, the 75gr Hornady HPBT will usually exit, but doesn’t kill as quickly. 88gr ELD-M’s will usually do it as well from 223’s on up. 6mm’s like the ARC, 243/6CM with the aforementioned 95gr NBT, 108gr ELD-M, etc will do it. Also for exits, the Hornady 105gr HPBT does really well.

Be careful declaring yourself king of your castle. It doesn't always end well.Negative. I don't really watch too much TV.
In the same boat, wishing I could hit the ‘like’ button 100 times….I can hear the inevitable “fwafwow is afraid of Mrs fwafwow.” Yes, I am. I’ve broken so many edicts that I’m on something weaker than thin ice.
Back to your normal programming
This may be moving a bit outside the scope (no pun intended) of the original intent of this thread, but as someone who finds terminal ballistics an interesting subject, I've had this question on my mind:I don’t expect exits with anything. I’ve caught more Barnes TSX bullets in deer than all others combined- that doesn’t mean TEX’s don’t exit. It just means that if you shoot enough, some won’t exit. The most consistent exiters have been Nosler Partitions for what it’s worth.
How wide would you guess the wound channels in lungs produced by .223 TSXs at higher impact velocities (say 2700+ FPS) are, as an estimate in inches? I imagine it may change in diameter as the bullet continues to penetrate, expand, and slow down, so I suppose I'm just looking for an average.
Lately I have been examining the degree of similarity/overlap between the most destructive service caliber handgun rounds, which appear to create a hole about 1" across, and the less destructive rifle rounds. .223 TSX seems to be a good example of the latter
Did you enjoy the show up to this point? Pretty good, but long read, eh?I will just sit here and enjoy the show to come

Yeah so far there hasn't been ask much knocking down as I normally see with post like these. Usually you get keyboard warriors projecting their opinions.Did you enjoy the show up to this point? Pretty good, but long read, eh?
The volume of evidence and facts in this thread is pretty hard to argue.Yeah so far there hasn't been ask much knocking down as I normally see with post like these. Usually you get keyboard warriors projecting their opinions.
Yes, there is a lot of facts but at a certain point it becomes people slinging stones. Me personally I wouldn't use .223 to kill anything bigger than a yotee. But that my opinion. If it keeps working for him then why not, until he has other outcomes, that my push him to think otherwise.The volume of evidence and facts in this thread is pretty hard to argue.
Who is him?
Wow, that's way smaller than I was expecting (never used TSX before). Isn't that pretty much what the TMK does at velocities a bit under 2000 fps? I know consistent fragmentation is a huge force multiplier for rifle bullets, but it's still hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that one type of .223 HP bullet can make a permanent wound cavity that is literally twice the diameter as another .223 HP bullet at similar velocities.Generally permanent cavity is about 1.5-2 inches wide.
The worst rifle bullets are far more destructive of tissue than the best pistol service caliber bullets. Rifles are rifles and they do rifle things in tissue.
I think he's painting the entire thread with one pronoun.
