About LinkBacksWould a 1:9 suffice?Originally Posted by luv2safari
The bullets are far too frangible for deer, IMO, even for neck shots, and you might need to resort to a heart/lung shot as follow up sometime. Then you would be up a schidt-creek. Not trying to throw a wet blanket on your deer hunting, but a 223 for deer hunting should have a 1 in 8 pitch, so you can use heavier and far better designed bullets for big game.
That's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it!
