    Same rules for each calibre - if it aint clear or you aint confident, then dont squeeze that trigger! They will all deflect, some worse than others.And it depends on whether the sticks and twigs etc are only a few metres in front of the animal or closer to mid range. The 223 is perfectly adequate for what you want, so long as you do your job.
