   Personally, I prefer to be overgunned. We owe the animal a clean kill, and a larger caliber just gives a bit more wriggle room, for my tastes. I have shot medium pigs at short range with a .22LR, but...

   I would probably agree. When I’m not out hunting ( up to 4 days a week, usually with 223 ) I’m back on the spanners servicing four wheelers/sxs’s from around top of South Island. After talking with...

   Interesting wager. And I'd be on your side no matter what caliber. That's the bit I find interesting/intriguing/scary. Internet hotshots who talk about long range hunting, but don't seem to shoot...

   I'm certain there's shooters here that could hunt reds effectively and ethically with a 55gr .223 fmj... I do not at all have the confidence in my ability to do so and wouldn't even attempt. That's...

   I shoot factory hunting ammo. Standard .308 150gsoft point. The places I go, this does the job, and I don't get out enough to bother about reloading.

   Heres how I roll with it. Next weekend we are "hunting" on the challenge course at Sparrowhawk. I know shots will tend to be longish, 400M or so. I know getting closer, which is AWAYS the best...

   Yeah I think you’ve summed up this thread well. I for one agree that a .223 is a legitimate hunting cartridge for medium game. However let’s not lead some less experienced hunters to believe it’s a...

   Cheers, so projectile price is about the same and all thats really different is more powder. A quick add up and it cost me 55c per round for powder and at current prices on primers if I had to buy...

   To be fair, the heavy .223 bullets are all cup and core and relatively cheap ($70/100). In fact that is their strength. OK penetration and frangible. Nice mushrooms are out, organ damage is in. ...

    Speaking of cost. The great thing about the bigger calibers is - you dont need to use a new premium projectile to achieve the same result. A good old cup and core will do exactly what the new 22...

    This conversation seems to have moved to more about the projectile than the cartridge. Why don't you guys run these big projectiles in something like a 220 Swift or 22 250. And really light them up?

    Cost? That one always surprises me in regard to ammo. You drive out there in your 4wd ($40000 plus $1ish per km) in your flash hunting gear ($700 boots etc) nice rifle plus glass ($5000) bino’s,...
