Thread: .223 go-to guns?

When I used the 222 most the time I tended to chest shoot most animals, shot some big stags too. So long as you shot is true and with a reasonable bullet that will get into the vitals you had a dead deer. The animals would usually run up to 50 yards then pile up. That's one reason I like a bullet to exit nowadays if possible, if it runs there is blood everywhere and easy to follow.
