would you hunt deer with a .222/.223? No... (If you are ethical!)
-Why? Because it is not a deer cartridge! Therefore it should be used as it is intended as a GREAT varmint round.
By the way I think it is unethical to shoot with open sights unless you have shot enough to know you are a good shot. I ALWAYS hunt with a scope, because I don't trust myself. I know there are some out there whom are good enough, but more often than not the people around me that miss, miss because they have open sights. I will not let anyone hunt on my land with open sights.... Or hunt deer with a .223.
sence you know all! why dont you tell the military that they they should not use the 223 because it was intended as a varment round and that is the only use for it!
i am not saying i would use a 223 for deer. but that does not mean some one could not ethically hunt deer with it.
