Thread: 223 on deer

I'm assuming the author is referring to the effectiveness of the 223 at long range on animals?

Because, for the life of me, I can't figure out how all the reds I've shot this year have died given I'm using a 223 in 55g Sako Gamehead SP? All were shot up close in the bush (less 40 yards) have all died within 1-10m, apart from one at a canter that we found 40m away. Chest shots with large exit wounds and broken limbs on the other side, heat shots, neck shots and one shot a bit far back in the rib cage Again, they are no less dead than deer I've shot with the 7mm08 up close.
