Why the head shots with the .222? A body shot will kill just as well as a .308, to the same kill zone as well...
The .222 is deadly enough without TSX bullets. People who havnt used it are always assuming it needs some kind of 'leg up' - but the thousands of red deer and tahr shot with the little cartridge in the 60's and 70's were done with the factory 50 grain Norma soft point, and nowadays people are using the 55 grain Interlock.
Hardly anyone uses TSX bullets in the triple two, because they mostly won't stablise. (The 45 g TSX probably will, but I cant find anyone who has tried it, and I havnt yet myself.)




If that is a question to my comment? Less meat damage and cleaner kill. And used to make head shots with my .30-06 too on feral goats when I wanted to as it was just as accurate as the .222.

In my .222 I am just using factory Remington .222s with standard 50 gr SPs.

Shot another eight fallow on ANZAC Monday. Nine shots, one complete miss which did annoy me.
