i have seen a guy shot out his tikka 243 barrel around 1000 rounds, dont think 223 is powerful enough, animals walk away and die unless head or neck shot.

power has little to do with it...placement has a LOT
walk away and die...hmmmmm they do that with any cartridge with a chest shot,how far they walk is different matter
there was an elephant poacher caught some years back,when caught they asked him how he was killing ol jumbo... they didnt believe him when he answered so he did it to prove to them he wasnt lying...he laid in dirt on elephant trail and shot up into heart,via the thin skin under arm pit with a SINGLE SHOT .22 using shorts
and wearing out a barrel after 1000 rounds happens with hot loads and/or piss poor cleaning so your point is????
75/15/10 black powder matters
