Why would any of us that have been around for decades, probably shoot more and better than the average person out there, and knows ballistics and what should be used for a quick, humane kill want to use a small caliber that was not really designed for deer? This is my last post on the thread because everything that needs saying by myself and everyone else has been said more than once.
so shooting people with FMJ ammo makes you an authority on using the 223 with the proper ammo on deer? yep been around for decades, knows more'n anybody else, yes siree.
