    Any of the cartridges (not calibers) you have mentioned will do the job. It is probably more important to find a rifle that fits you and you feel comfortable with.

    If you listen to some, by the time you find the best load you will run out of components, perhaps may not be able to buy more identical components and and need to rebarrel because the original is...

    I wouldn't just assume it was DoC. Most likely a Muppet who has decided to leave them on the side of the track. As said above DoC or contract shooters will be required to remove any carcasses away...

    I agree that they shouldn't be left by the track, but as far as shooting animals and not taking any meat off them I really couldn't care less. When you see the state of some of our forest parks...

    There are alot of different opinions on that one and could be a whole thread on it's own, probably is already at least one haha. A .223 is not a long range deer rifle no matter the barrel length....
