In using the smaller .224" caliber for deer and black bear, I choose Barnes' TSX solid copper bullets. As others had mentioned, for how many bear or deer I take, fifty loaded rounds will last me decades, if not my lifetime. My gun happens to like those particular loads, so that is what I shoot.
When I see how the TSX rolls back four petals to a razor-sharp X that will plow through most anything I will shoot, that means more hydraulic shock for any arteries I may hit.
I don't know if the shot I will need to take will be 30 yards from me or 300 yards. So, to be on the safe side, I shoot 62 grain TSX bullets. I realize, with a lot of things in life, you don't get what you pay for when you buy premium, however, I feel confident that what I am paying for is well-worth the extra money I need to spend every five to ten years when I go to load another box of 50.
