    I’ve probably lost an animal or two with every caliber I’ve ever used, some never figured out why. Seen animals lost by other people using various calibers. When it comes to going out purely targeting bush deer I generally take 308 but I’m happy to take deer with 223 out to 380 metres if conditions are right. Most used rifle these days is 223, use it pretty much every week. Since 2015 have lost three deer out of 500+ shot. More than happy with results. I don’t worry about bullet energy or get too obsessed with checking wound channels, if it’s dead it’s fecking dead. All that matters.
