But i still wont take my .223 roar/rut hunting, especially in the bush or rough tight country. That would just be asking for a screw up. Tough, swollen necked, pumped up stags, scrub/brush before the animal or mental pressure to take the "trophy" antlers are all factors that will ruin an otherwise easy shot. Human ability and 224 projectiles arent up to
all of those challenges. Your discipline of when not to shoot would have to be bloody solid!
Also lack of exit wounds on alot of shots would make tiger country blood tracking a nightmare.

Wow.
You're going to be in trouble for saying that.
I'm starting to get the feeling 223 users are a bit like vegans.
How do you know they use one?
Don't worry, they'll tell you. (Don't take it too seriously)
