RE: Opinion on the 223 as a deer hunting cal ?
Been looking for info on this very subject. I use aSavage 24f 12ga over .223.I got this gun because I like to hunt in thicker brush butwanted something I could use at a longer distance as well. I've been using Nosler partition but have yet to get a shotI felt comfortable with to see how it would perform. I'm no reloader (yet) so I need some input on brands. I have been able to get 100 to 140 yard accuracy using Rem. ManagedRecoil Buckhammer's in the12 so I'm not even sure now I'll use the .223 asmuch as I thought
