Wh Whu What? LOL! Sorry, I have to disagree there. I'd have no problem to "
push it" to a bigger caliber. Below are my favorite deer calibers with the .260 being #1 & #2 being the .243...
* .260 Remington
* .243
* .257Roberts
* 6mm
* 7mm-08
* .270
They are all bigger than the .223. Now I don't have a problem using a .223 on deer. Matter o' fact, I reckon several will chime in and say they use that caliber often. Now the 30-30 takes a big chunk of the pie when it comes to piling up deer. It's not fancy, not a gun to use much over 200 yards, but does the job nicely.
Now if you meant the .223 is about as small as you want to push it, then that's different. A typo perhaps?
