the .223 is perfect goat medicine...PERFECT..... and sooner or later you would be carrying magnum and deer would pop out at 150 yards...or reasonable sized pig.....and you be undergunned....Ive killed a lot of animals with .22 magnum ,the 223 just does job much much much better.........
if you dont own a 22lr.....yeah the magnum is good option....
and comment about 223 for possums up trees....the magnum ISNT MUCH safer.....you still need to be aware of background .... arguably a varmit round from 223 could travel less if it connects with something..although there are some very good magnum rounds now that blow up nicely...the makers needed to up game after 17s were taking over.
but the 223 would be my pick all day anyday.
