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...

The 55 gr Hornady SP is a good ,cheap bullet for the 223 . If you want more penetration the Barnes 50 or 53 gr would be the answer. Using lighter calibers does help you become a better more careful...

More into the long range shooting so the extra power is a requirement for ethical kills. The 222,223 were good out to about 200 odd yards but there wasn't a lot of room for error. Bigger calibers...

I use the .223 for meat hunting missions in spring and summer and use the .308 in the roar or going in for a stag. I use the 55gr gmx, drops them hard and exits too, I've drilled sika in the shoulder...

Have used the old Nosler 55gr Solid Base in 222-223 for 30-40 years, they do the job with good shot placement. Have also over later years used 53gr Barnes with out a problem. Do at times go .243-270...

My go to is a t3 in 223, shortened and suppressed. Gets used more than the 308 due to shortness in the bush and quieter over the dog also less recoil... (not that the 308 is bad) not sure for...

I was aware and told the gamekings were the go way back. But I couldn't get them to shoot as good as other projectiles in any of my 223's. I have no idea why. Since I have gone to the sciroccos I...

If I went out tomorrow and bought a .223 with the intention of using it mainly on pigs and deer, I think the 65gr Sierra Game King would be my bullet of choice. Realistically I currently own so...

I often carry a .223 for work and recreation and end up shooting a few pigs & fallow deer. As the other guys said it's all about shot placement and having the discipline to pick your shots. A...

Like Tikka I've killed more deer with a .223 than all the other calibres that I've owned and absolutely love the .223 on Sika and Fallow and won't hesitate using it on trips but I also have other...
