Default RE: .223 ok 4 deer?

My Opinion. Everyone in my area feel they need to Own .300 Mags and 7mm mags and etc.

In South Carolina in the places I have hunted mag rds are over kill in essence too big for the average deer. I know some will say nothing is tooko big.. Well when the average shot taken is 100 yards yes that rd is overkill.

I am not hunting elk and they love to push those on you.. I think they feel if they hit a deer anywhere with a mag load it will drop.. Not true.. It just makes the cocky and will try shots they normaly would not have taken with a normal capable rifle... Such as a .223 or .243 or even a .30-.30
