Best Uses

Use a few rounds to confirm your zero, then carry the rest in the field. The heavier 64-grain bullet is made for deer-size game, unlike light varmint bullets. Not every state allows 223 for deer, so check your rules first. Keep shots at ranges where you can place them well. A 1:9 twist or faster barrel usually handles 64 grain. Winchester Deer Season XP 223 also works on hogs and coyotes. One box usually lasts a season, so buy more of the same lot if you shoot often.
