Anybody have any experience with .224" bullets on deer? What would you recommend? I have a Stevens 200 with a 1:9" barrel. I am thinking of the 65 Grain Sierra GameKing Bullets. Also looking at the 60 grain Nosler Partition. I'd like to use a 65-70 grain bullet but, I don't really know how heavy of a bullet I can get away with in my barrel, so any help on this would be great! Thanks in advance!
