    This is just funny I always thought the 223 was the perfect goat gun. And the hundreds of goats I've shot with it thought it was too. I've found neck shots to be marginal on goats regardless of cal. No caliber is gutless or gay if you can't use it within its limit then you suck probably male appendages

    2 words Toby "progressive press" you won't out shoot your ammo with one. I can load 3-400 p/h of 223 or in my own case 6.5-223 eh
