Thread: .223 can knock over a stag?

All this has for me thinking that I should try out a 6mm-thinking softair as if I get the right spot it should be golden

Sillier than a 257 STW?

The troll under this bridge is missing the point deliberately.

Please explain why all the bullet manufacturers make those projectiles in those weights, and just how it is they continue to kill game around the world- would quite like it if you sent an email to: Sierra, Hornady, Swift, Nosler, Barnes, Speer, Berger and ask them if they consider their customers buying those projectiles and causing their constant high volume manufacture, are in fact retarded, would like the reply posted, assuming there was one.
Several hundred thousand current 2506 users may disagree with you, and the 117 Prohunter is not necessarally the best possible bullet in .257.

No calibre "knocks deer over". Write as much bull shit as you like about the .17 through to elephant guns. Fantasise about magnums, "quarter bores (WTF?)", 6mm or what ever.
Its the shock to the nervous systym that makes them appear to be knocked over by a bullet. and that is almost totally relient on bullet placement.

And hydrostatic shockwave.

Hyperbole: exaggeration for effect

"it exists so someone might use it" isn't a valid basis for comparison

@Toby got me thinking bout a 338-06. He's like 'rain man' - I want 1 they sound awesome... (Honest)

So from what I have just read, would everyone think a .308 Win cartridge in a MSR (AR-10) or a bolt rifle (like a Tikka T3) running a 150gr - 200gr projectile be good enough with the right shot placement?

but as James sully asked in the first post:
".223 can knock over a stag?
Wondering if it's got the power"

the answer would be "yes" but don't do it.
Using a bigger cartridge is better suited to be ethical and LEARN YOUR RIFLE, I.E. what it does in the wind, and at distance.
Join shooting club.

Hydrostatic shock aside, if you blend up something's lungs, it will die regardless of caliber.

A .308 with 150-200gr in any rifle will be good enough with the right shot placement. Tbh most rifles are deadly with the correct shot placement

There are deer were I hunt wallabies I carry a 222 with me if one is dumb enough to stick around while I'm flattening roos I will be giving him or her a head ache

Sorry mate, nothing short of a .50cal will knock over a deer.....

Best stick to rabbits and possums
