Ever shot a deer with a 223?

shot one in the ass once with a 223..........had to finish him off with a shovel, I'd likely do it again though, just so I can post the story and pictures on the internet..............

lmao..........wow just wow.......you might just want to go back and edit some of your posts before you get painted pink........oh and yeah....hook line and sinker.....

Most guys out west are still going to chase deer with the .223, what you forum heroes all forget is that coastal deer are not much bigger then domestic goats, most of you are comparing our 125 pound deer with your 250 pound deer. So the .223 may not be the best choice out east but maybe have a look at where the poster is from before forming an opinion.........

If you don't hunt and or never have hunted I don't see how half the people posting can even post in a thread like this, passing info on that you acquired on the internet is never going to inform anyone, but likely misinform then instead........

It was actually my first deer ever that made me think about a .223. All this time I've been listening to the guys on this forum, no smaller than .243, opinion. After I went out and actually shot my first deer that was only 25 feet away, it made me realize the .270 is overkill for are small coastal deer. .223 is cheaper and allows for a lot more range time. I will bet more deer have ran off and died somewhere else not to be found from people buying a rifle from wholesale, have it bore sighted, then think they're good to go or from people who buy a rifle with expensive ammunition then they don't get much range time in.

The guys that annoy me are the ones who only bench rest 3 shot groups to practice for hunting. Yo man, that's not how its going to be well you're hunting. Practice standing, kneeling, and prone shots at other distances not at just 100 meters. Try practicing quick fallow up shots too. That's what I tell em but they usually brush me off as some kind of #######.

Well you can vaguely refer to these hundreds of tests all you want. I believe 100% what I've seen with my own eyes. 69 grain SMKs from a 1:7 twist barrel is by order of magnitude more devastating than a 55 grain bullet from a 1:12 twist barrel. I know this because I've used both on everything from Deer to Groundhogs. Maybe you just need to see it for yourself to believe it.

There's also lots of people who have been told not to hunt with Bergers of any description and yet there's web sites dedicated to the guys who do with great success.

Check out the damage at the bottom of this article. This is the kind of damage I've seen with the 69 Gr SMK and a 1:7 twist. I can say no more.

You cant believe everything you read, sometimes you just have to think for yourself and decide what you think is true.

I think the fast rate of rotation causes a violent action as the bullet tumbles. It's as simple as that.

It's interesting that the author actually likes the norc ammo.
 
This is because everyone loves to burn up the internet with talk about their hero, apex-predator-super-sniper-success stories, but people rarely volunteer to talk about all the animals they've lost or horror-story-super-suffer sagas.

I've seen many of the latter with the .223, and given the choice I now would always choose at least .243 when hunting deer with center fire rifle.Cheers,

I agree. Hey Brobee! Long time! I still have the big green gun!:)
 
It is head or neck only shots for me the 223 for me, seen the body not work out so well for a couple of people so I personally won't take that chance.
 
What's interesting to me is how lightly those of limited hunting exerience brush off the opinions of those with decades of extensive experience... Like we haven't "been there done that" and learned something along the way...
 
There is a lot of body area....Bet it wasn't the vitals!
depends on what you would call the vitals, all deer were recovered but far from a quick humane end. I have only been hunting for 30 or so years so it is up to anyone who reads my posts if they decide to value my opinions or not, everyone is their own person and can make up their own mind as to what caliber suits them for the job at hand provided it is legal in their province.
