The most amazing thing about the 223 is how topical and polarising it is. Day 3 since Hunter_Nicks 1st post and we’re 190 posts in. Much of it a repeat of 223 on deer. I haven’t read every...

To be fair that thinking about my shooting career that it has been spent in the back blocks fencing that there didn't seem to be many small calibres . For myself I take minimum 6.5 for deer as a...

I did count. for a reply in another thread. What it came down too was the 223 is mostly used for shooting fallow, yearlings and hinds. There were something like 14 red stags shot and by only 3 or 4...
