    Mate I think most people call 270's gay as a joke and not being serious, the 270 is as good as any other calibre.

    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...

    Most .223s can not run those projectiles, you have to remember that. 1:8" etc are a fairly modern thing so with that in mind take those projectiles out of the equation for most .223 users and find a...

    Its a pretty interesting conversation where anyone can come up with some anecdotal evidence to support their argument one way or the other. I think no one would argue with the fact that bullet design...

    I love my .223 especially with the 75gr eldms, my son shot his first deer with it. However there is very very little margin for error. Hit a small piece of anything before the animal, animal moves...

    I remain of the view that there is value in using a calibre/projectile that blows big holes out the other side..... has helped me find a number of Sika bush hunting over the years.

    Barry the hunter liked post by Eat Meater On thread : A question for the doubters
    I think you'll have trouble with an objective test because of lack of data. E.g. does anyone ever put up photos of deer they missed or had to track and finish? Not impugning the skill or honesty of...

    Ain't it a funny thing,the humble 177 slug gun/air rifle doesn't even get a mention anymore? Yet it teaches how to aim,how to hold,muscle memory and with a small amount of thinking can be used SAFELY...
