If you are comfortable with a marginal cartridge that probably will not exit leaving no blood trail then great. Here in eastern NC I want to poke two holes and leave a blood trail.

With the new solid copper/gilding metal bullets, and a short broadside shot, you'll get two nice holes and a short blood trail with the .223. Don't try to break shoulder/leg bones with it. Don't attempt a "Texas Heart Shot" ...... don't attempt to shoot deer beyond Ft. Mudge. Used within it's limits, it works.
