Thread: 223 on deer

OMG, tikka yes. 223 probably no for a beginner. The most important things you should have gleamed from this thread are. Most of the hunters using a 223 are very experienced and take the time and have the skill to take a shot , or walk away. They realise they have little room for era and hunt accordingly.
Or some used a 223 because thats what was in their hands at the time. A step upto a 243 will have not that much more recoil , with a suppressor noise becomes a mute point. But you will have a lot more power and era margin.
This thread isn't about recommending a 223 for deer. Just what can be done in the right conditions with the right person behind it.
