    223 ammo

    I'm sure this been covered 100 times before, and I'm not after opinions when it comes to "223 shouldn't be used on deer or large game" i know what myself and my rifle is capable of, and know that shot placement is critical.....

    After your thoughts on what heavier 223 pills everyone is using, and which ones to avoid, have used the Fiocci 55grn soft points without any issues, but keen to see what everyone is using. My 223 is 1-8 so shouldn't have issues stabilizing the heavier rounds

    Cheers
