Antlers threw me off but then after I posted I looked at coat and realized it wasn't what I thought.

This sounds like heresy with the comments about the venerable 223. The elephant in the roomis that whilst all the haters are posting about the ineffectiveness of the 223 there must of been heaps killed by the 223. Logic sometimes gets lost in the clamour to express an opinion.

There's also a saying "there's none so blind as those that want to be".

Thanks MD

Haven’t been out deer hunting in months because of a shoulder injury. Finally got out for a multi day hunt with the 223rem and the 14 month old pup. This hind was a tricky, farthest for the trip 384m with a 34 degree uphill shot shooting off my walking poles. Perfect shot placement and dropped instantly with a 75gr ELD-m.
Getting the chamber throat reamed out next week to accommodate 80 grainers and 75gr with less compressed load using ADI 2208 powder.

Have you tried 2206H with the 75gns?
Who is doing the chamber?

384mtrs for the 223 on the hind,good shooting.
