Thread: 223 on deer

Must admit I have had the same (non) reaction with a buck chamois hit with a 165gn Nosler BT from my short barreled 308win. I though I had missed it as it just stood there, side on, looking in my direction. A second shot dropper it but the first, behind the shoulder, had done the business. I have since changed to 168 ELD-M in that rifle and they seem to go better. The BTs were great in the 300wm but I suspect a bit hard for the lower velocity of the 308win.
Sorry. As you were. Back on topic.
