Thread: Ruger 223 all weather compact setup

Ok I have just purchased Ruger .223 All Weather compact (18" 1:8 Barrel) and I'm wanting to setup it for the occasional deer that I see on our property.
So get that word occasionally which is also another word for cheaply
Average distance would be 100 -150 yards, longest is 250-300 yards for clear shot.
I have a 3x9 scope that I'm about to pinch from my 10/22, but unsure as to "Should I put a suppressor on it" for that occasional shot ??
I also see that Hornady .223 55gr V-Max Varmint ammo gets a reasonable thumbs up for price and Velocity, any one have any other suggestion for ammo ???
