Thread: Getting ES down with 223

IF you clever about WHERE you aim,you can account for that....MOST 400 yard shots will either be upright roo...or hunched feeding roo....
upright,aim between front legs,2" low still chest/lights n liver with spine in fireing line
hunched over aim just below spine...2" low will be lights n liver and varmit pills work fine here,2" high good solid spine shot....
neck will be ear or shoulder.....

but I do see your point,just dont find it an issue .
if you look in sharp shooter...by Matt n Bruce Grant...arguably THE Bible for people looking to shoot further in hunting situations 30 years ago
one thing Matt said was to wait for deer to start walking uphill away from you...it gave aim from back of head right down to hips for elevation errors in the pre rangefinders,twiddle n fiddle years.....
things have advanced a lot since then but theory still has merit.
as to 400 yard bit......why ever not,roos arent hard to kill and very soft skin and bones other than hips,decent projectiles do lots of damage even when going slower,still no different to 22lr at 25 yards and many many roos have fallen to them.
