I wasn't even going to go into the .223 being a suitable deer round, as I've seen every one of those types of threads blow up.
I will say that a small wound channel = little blood trail to follow if it doesn't go down right away.
Well, welcome to the board! As you can see, we don't always agree here! But, we'll muddle through it anyway!
By far, the best answer to using a .223, is: "because I can!" (where legal!) Which is a poor excuse or an answer!
Why use a marginal at best, caliber on a game animal that deserves better respect!!!????
If it's a "challenge," you want, punch paper!
