Buddy and I dragged out a gut shot der that someone else shot last year. There was no bullet but LOTS of fragments inside.

A big part of that is "gut shot"

Poor ammo selection + acute lack of skill/judgement = fail

Kinda like the OP is setting himself up for.

I use the federal premium 62 gr. nosler partion ( which is bonded) and it works very well in the .223.
The fusion should work equally as well.

Bonded partition??? Also a 62gr 22cal partition??? Please tell us more.

The partitions (as far as I know, and not listed as so on the Nosler site) are not bonded, they actualy pretty much come apart leaving only the rear cavity. I still think they are a good bullet. Weight retention on the 3 that I recovered from deer was about 40%. The whole front cavity was gone.

The Swift A Frame is bonded, a similar design, differant company. But they are not available in 22cal.

Thanks to everyone for the assistance. My shooting experience is pretty much relegated to plinking and range duty so anything beyond Tula, Wolf, and PMC Bronze is unfamiliar to me. I grabbed a box of 62 grain Fusion soft points today so I'll see how that works out.

Much better. The deer will thank you They should save you some leg work, just get a good vital shot and watch out for the sholder. Try and recover a bullet if you can to test the retention %. They might punch through though, my partitions went through the deer then slid down the hide a few inches on the opposite side. You may have have better retention with the fusions.

Ah yes, what terrible judgement on my part.

I should know better than to recognize my own lack of experience and knowledge on the subject, and seek guidance and advice from a community of seasoned hunters. How idiotic of me.

Get your head out of your a**...

I was harvesting two deer with two shots this weekend, just like last season. Well, almost, since I used a handgun for the doe this year.

Apparently having ones head up their ass works ok deer hunting.....

On a serious note, I hope you try practicing with your hunting ammo next year a little earlier. That would mean KNOWING what your gonna hunt with well before the season starts.
