    I really like that you add in the 10.5" barrel too, not because I'll ever use a 10.5" but because it shows downrange performance of 20"/18"/16" barrels.

    Maybe you can put a paper target at the same time that you measure the velocity and chack the grouping at the same time.
    I think its highly relevant for an ar15 rounds effectiveness.

    Well, true 3,050 fps with a 64 grain in a 16" barrel is very good, and the bullet performance was excellent. For years, I have loaded the old 62g TBBC, and since I had purchased a large lot of those bullets from a component dealer and they performed very well, I never thought I would try anything else. The 62 TBBC's work well for short range deer hunting, but it looks now that I may have to try a box of these Winchester 64's.

Does surprisingly well with flash and sends all the concussion down range while functioning as a sort of linear brake. Oddball choice, but I’m an oddball myself.

    Ive used this ammunition a little bit. Ive had issues with neck tension on these rounds, may have just been my lot number but still. Just letting the bolt go from lock and taking a round off of the top of the magazine pushed the bullet into the neck of the case. I thought it may be the nickel plated case that causes this but who knows.

    Great Review! Although .223 Rem is more available for self defense like Speer Gold Dot, I will try to get this cartridge although 5.56 self defense cartridges like the one you tested is usually restricted to LEO'S.....

    Rifle bullet technology has come a long way. I have been using mostly a .243 in the last few years for deer so I am biased in its favor and regarded it as the minimum caliber for deer hunting. However this test confirmed that some modern 5.56 ammo can do the job with less recoil and blast. This ammo might be useful for hunters who need low recoil to shoot accurately and safely, perhaps due to youth or shoulder injuries, age, etc. Thanks for another set of excellent tests.

      I live in Idaho, and let me tell you, I've seen countless mule deer harvested with .223 and it performs well above its weight, the low recoil and ability to make a well placed shot really do make a huge difference, the youth hunters here really like it, that and the .243 are probably the most common first centerfire rifle we get our kids for hunting.

    Good stuff, never seen these before but they seem pretty close to the Winchester silvertip 64gr ammo i normally hunt with. Besides the fact this is a soft point vs a ballistic tip, but that stuff i use has been droppin all kinds of stuff from beavers, coyotes up to deer size game for about 4 years now. Its good stuff.

      Yep. The Gold Dot and Fusion seem to basically identical.
