    If you consider that the EBRG/twoforfree/.243 is considered minimum for deer in much of Europe and that your heavy for calibre .223 loads are now not hell of a lot different to said .243 if given a 100-150 yard head start....to equal out velocity advantage of bigger case,it becomes a moot point. If .243 is enough then so must the .223
    75/15/10 black powder matters

    Many people consider the .243 inadequate or unreliable. Of course, it may be, as any cartridge may be, if used with poor bullets or outside the range where the bullet used will function. I would hope that this may change if we continue to look more objectively at projectile performance, mechanisms of wounding and results rather than hearsay.
