Hello folks,

am looking for a .223 Rem deer round. .223 is a bit light for deer, but I would like to be able to feed my foxing rifle (CZ 527 with a 1:9 Twist) a round that can take small deer.

I like the idea of using a relatively heavy bullet and Federal seem to do a few bullet weights in the 60gr range which look interesting.

So, anyone use them? Be interested to hear your thoughts.

ATB,

Scrummy
