Anyone hunt deer with .223 caliber rifle? I have a Mini-14
that I'd like to use this coming deer season. I normally hunt
with a Remington .270 (5-shot/1.25" groups/100yds). All
the shots that I can take from my deer stand aren't past
100 yds.

If you do use .223 rifle, do you take head or neck shots?
