It is certainly a better killer on deer than a bow.
^^^We will have to agree to disagree on this.


Will a 223 kill a deer? Yes it will, so will a 22, and you can beat on stuff with a wrench but that doesn't make it the right tool for the job.

As for comparing the use cartridges on people and deer, would you hunt deer with a 380 or a 32? A weapon for use on people has a different set of priorities than one used for hunting. I can only speak for myself but I see it as my responsibilty to put an animal down quickly with one shot. Without question, a 308 does that much better than a 223.

Here is a scenario for you. A big buck steps out at 200 yards right as it is getting dark and he is quartering towards you. Which rifle do you want?
