I've seen to many dear run off after being shot with a .223, 22-250 and even 243. Never seen one run off after my 7mm mag or 30-06 hit'em. The .223 was designed to pop bushy tailed limb rats. The military chose it because it wounded well, recoil is zip and you can carry 1000rds of it. It was never ment to kill things human sized or bigger.

If you saw deer run off after being shot at with a 223, 22-250, or 243 it was likely because the shooter missed, or was using varmit bullets. Use bullets in those rounds designed for big game and you won't see a bit of difference in killing power between a 223 and a 7mm magnum. Use varmit bullets in a 7mm mag and it will fail when it hits a deer too. I've seen too many drop in their tracks as if hit by lightening when hit by a 223. It works just fine on humans as well.
