I think 223 a legitimate deer cartridge. Personally I hunt with something larger to give me a wider margin of error. People should hunt with whatever they back themselves with.

I could start a thread documenting my attempt to kill every species of game animal in the country with the .223, but I’m such a shit hunter, most of us will be dead before I complete it!

I remain of the view that there is value in using a calibre/projectile that blows big holes out the other side..... has helped me find a number of Sika bush hunting over the years.

Bullet construction is actioned by velocity. It's hard not to believe in velocity when you shoot a deer with a .223 or a .243 and then pour the chest contents out in a red soup.
