Thread: 223 for deer hunting?

The little .223 is my favorite cal for spring/summer hunting deer or the like. I have shot more animals with it than any other calibre. I have lost one, due to poor shot placement and to me, that is too many.
I use a shitty little hornady 55gr sp but 99% of my shots are clean shots.
I never attempt a body shot unless I need the meat and cant get a clean one. I like to know the ground and where the bugger is going to run as well.
You never, ever want to be rushed using one. You need to be patient and deliberate especially in the bush.
TBH and without trying to sound wanky I reckon you need to have shot a fair few animals before trying to use one exclusively, but you have to start somewhere eh.
