i have read some replys about .223 for the 223 for daughter post and ones i have made my self i have notice people taking about the low recoil in 30 30 3006 and even 357 what you have to remeber is we are talking about a young girl not a full built guy .

also shoot placement weather you useing a .223 30 30 30 06 or 50 CAL

IF YOU DO NOT GET A GOOD SHOOT PLACEMENT THE DEER IS GOING TO SUFFER
a .223 or even a 22 long in the hands of someoen who can shoot good is better then a 30 06 or any other gun in the hands of someone who is a bad shoot i have seen .223s blow bricks and but hole throw brick buildings both sides a deer is not harder then a brick

also today on a hunting so this guy shots a buck with a gun big enough i seen part flying sure this deer ran for like 10 foot but it moved it about 20 feet back from the hit
