Re: .223 For Deer?
Come on Archer, seriously???? You can't claim credit for that on the forum that it was originally posted on, lol. You especially can't pretend to have the specs. You might have seen it posted on some other forum, but it was originally posted here, and by me. http://forum.pafoa.org/general-2/180...per-round.html I even have proof of the "rifle" that shoots it, and photos of me with it, LOL. My apologies to the OP, I wasn't trying to derail the thread, but I had to defend myself on this one. It's definitely not a 30mm parent cartridge, it's .50 BMG; it is a .224 caliber bullet though. I just gotta give you heck man :-).

Re: .223 For Deer?
The first vehicles normally on the scene of a crime are ambulances and police cruisers. If you are armed you have a chance to decide who gets transported in which vehicle, if you are not armed then that decision is made for you.
Be prepared, because someone else already is and no one knows their intent except them.

Re: .223 For Deer?
You all guys better get real. 223, 25-06,30-30,30-06,308, what ever, It don't matter. We will all be using a shotgun with slugs or buckshot in the future. It's in the works, like it or not, and thats if we will be able to hunt at all. The "bambi brains" will take over.

Re: .223 For Deer?
I have a friend that has a son that is 12 years old but quite small for his age. He absolutely loves being in the woods with anyone that he can. Anyway his dad bought him a Rem. 700 SPS tactical in .223. He took him to the range a couple of times to sight it in and get custom to shooting at full sized deer paper targets. He hunted the first few days with his dad and the first Saturday his dad wasn't able to go so I took him along with me and I left my rifle him and just brought the handgun. Anyway we were sitting on stand when a very large doe came out at about I'm guessing in the 145 - 155 yrd range. I see him going for his rifle and I asked him "are you ok making that long of a shot?" His response was "Watch this". I thought oh boy here goes an entire day chasing a wounded deer. All I saw was the deers head and I hear the BANG. I told myself there is no way . . . So we walk over and there was the deer as dead as the day is long with a perfectly placed .223 bullet right behind the ear, she was dead before she even hit the ground. I wanted to see ifthis kid was a fluke or was really that good of a shot so wen went to the range, he was grouping 5 shots in a quarter at 100yds. It was a great experience for me and it goes to show u that a well placed shot is better then a big bang . . . .

Re: .223 For Deer?
The 25-'06 a barrel eater??
I certainly hope not as with my Ruger #1 in this caliber I took two Maryland
"Beanfield" Deer, last year at 300+ yards and dropped both in their tracks.
Barrel shot out??
I think think that my Ruger # 1 is just getting "warmed up".
I love the cartridge,AND it is highly UNDERATED.
Game Hunting??
Pay close attention to Bullet Choice.
