We're all hunters here and we all know that taking a "risky shot" is just another bullet in the anti's gun. So why use a "risky" caliber? And yes, a 22cal is a "risky" caliber for deer!! Using a caliber that has low downrange energy, possibly major wind-drift and lightweight bullets are not what I call an "ethical" round. I'm not trying to ruffle anyone's feathers, but what are the "good" things about using a 223 for deer? The only thing I can think of is the lower recoil. Other than that, what else is there?
