Thread: 223 on deer

funny thats a bit like a pissing contest.... who can go the furtherest..
for ME harvesting a deer is NOTHING like that... NOTHING AT ALL.
I usually use my faithful .270 but at times feel like a change so carry something else,I KNOW the range will need to be closer and my aim better... if I do my bit and poke that tiny bit of metal in right place all is good.

Yeh mate, I’m sure that’s most often the case.
I’m sure most of us have our favourites, and a few others in our collection, so we take them out for a walk. But I tend to refer back to type, my old faithful is my 308.
It’s a rare thing it’s found wanting, and by in large there’s enough overkill in it to make up for my inadequacies…
I’m no sniper or Peter Hathaway Capstick!
