    Another might be that there are around 780 posts in that thread of which 164 give or take were by one member (21% of total posts). Now he is clearly a very experienced hunter who knows where his gun shoots and knows the limitations of it. However, he is shooting in a farm situation at animals that allow him to take his time and pick his shots. Most are of smaller deer and not large heavy bodied animals. Almost all of the other deer shown are of a similar type.
    After about page 15 there are only a few new posters to the thread with just the same old people reinforcing the same opinion in the echo chamber the thread has become.

    The 223 is a very versatile cartridge that deserves a place in every one's gun rack. It is an excellent young person's first center fire. Used by experienced hunters who know its limitations and are happy to pass up on marginal shots it is fine.

    However, as an all-round, one deer cartridge to rule them all it is not.
    He is also 74 years old and what you have read is only a snap shot of his most recent experiences with the .223, along with the addition of your assumptions. Gimp, is correct of course.

    But as said a couple posts back "if YOU want a 22GT on a Howa Mini, fill ya F*ckn boots mate..."
    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.
