    The .223 for me has been the best and most consistant calibre I have used on deer and such. On foot I have lost one animal due to bad judgment. I have lost shit loads more with the more PC calibers.
    I have shot more deer with one than any other cal I have used ground shooting.
    I have used one most of my time in machines as well.
    Not a cal I would advise anyone to start out with, but certainly not as unethical and insufficient with the right load as some people claim.
    I will always have one in my safe for harvesting meat for the table.
