Hopefully that's it for this thread and if the one naysayer would read all the articles out there he will find that very few say anything different than what all of us have stated on this thread---get something bigger, as RR is apparently the only .223 expert on this site that uses one regularly for deer!
well its not it for this thread, yep there are better cartridges out there, but for those who can shoot, and have a bit of discipline they do an adequate job.I don't know if I'm an expert but I've taken a lot of deer with them, it is my choice for thinning the heard. just how much deader do you want deer than one killed with a 64 gr bonded bullet? if they are that bad why do so many states allow them for deer hunting?
