Yup - I'm still hurting from a lost fallow spiker shot with the 223 at 230M with a 55gn. Went down but ran off after what I think was a slightly too high shoulder shot in a fishtailing wind from behind me, made without much time. After that I've resolved not too use the 223 again on marginal conditions or less than perfect field position. I'm considering replacing the 223 all together with a lightweight 6 or 6.5mm. Better 20 "overkills" than one cock-up to my way of thinking . . . .
