I shot my first deer 17 years ago with a .223 and have always had a probably unreasonable enthusiasm for it. It seems to work well even with 55gr size bullets but there is a lot more potential if...

Lots of .223 projectiles work. I shot a Fallow at a couple of hundred with a Targex 52 grain not long ago. It did some impressive damage. Ive shot dozens with the 52 grn hollow point match. 55 grain....

I came down from 7RM to 6.5-284. RM was great though more gun than I needed. 6.5 gives me option to more easily shoot it bare (moderate recoil) making it quite handy. PRC bit handier as goes better...

Just buy a 7mm remmag standard 24" barrell cut 6" off throw an over barrel supressor on it and you will have a bushpig capable of shooting 7-800 yds if required. Better BC's in 7mm as others have said
