Thread: A question for the doubters

Don't get me wrong. A larger, heavier bullet of good construction makes a larger wound. In some instances this may result in a slightly faster death. However the .223 with good bullets appears to be sufficient in most real circumstances. I don't plan to shoot things in the guts. When I do, I tend to get a 2nd shot in regardless of cartridge. I don't have to be any more selective with shot placement - the wounds are sufficiently large that "anywhere in the front shoulder" is as effective as with anything else I've used.

Edit: Bruce you didn't need to delete that!
