Barnes Vor-Tx 5.56x45mm NATO 62gr TSX BT Rifle Cartridges 31190 for Big Game $2.50 Off
Yet it will, they are great for deer. Shoot the deer right behind the shoulder in the heart and lung area. 3 people in my family shoot .223 and 5.56 with a variety of ammo and we kill lots of deer every year with them.
No, this round is not the M855A1, which is really hard to get and expensive. This round is a hollow point, designed to inflict a larger wound channel when hunting, while also being loaded to 5.56 NATO specifications (higher pressures than .223 REM). If you’re looking for a plinking round with decent penetration, I recommend M855 Green Tip. It has a steel core, weighing 62 grains, and is much more cost effective. You should match your ammo to your rifles twist rate as well. Cheaper 55gr (M193) isn’t very accurate if you have a 1:7 twist ratio, whereas a 1:9 twist uses 55 grain ammo well. 62 grain ammo works well in 1:7 through 1:9, with 1:8 being the best twist rate for allowing use of all weights of 5.56 ammo (55gr-77gr). I know I went a little overly in-depth but it is something everyone needs to know when choosing their ammo and it’s purpose.
Plan on using it for deer hunting this year in Florida .Shot a few rounds at the range and is very accurate ammo. Optics planet made the process of purchasing the ammunition a very easy and efficient process.

We did the Milk jug filled with water test. The bullet went thru 3 jugs. We Actually caught the round and it expanded exactly as advertised. This will be my ammo of choice for hunting this season. Looking for to taking my first deer with this ammo.
I am extremely happy with the accuracy of this ammo. I have a 1:8 twist barrel on my AR15 put 3 shots in 1” circle at 100 yards. I purchased for Wisconsin deer season and they definitely do the trick. With a well placed shoulder shot they dropped a m...

I mainly use this and the 70 grain tsx for hog hunting. I don’t have to have perfect head shots with these rounds. They cycle well and produce good wound cavities for a 556. If you plan to hunt, then just rezero your optic for whatever grain you hav...

I purchased the 62 grain, took them this past weekend (January 14 2022) on a hog hunt and had 5 of 8 shots fail to fire with solid hammer strikes from two separate MSR rifles. This was not only concerning but dangerous for my 9 year old son and mysel...
