I have used the 6.8 SPC and the .223 on deer with no problem. A lot of guys seem to use heavy bullets. I usually hunt areas where the shots are close and quick. I just use Hornady factory loaded varmit ammo and it works fine in that situation. For many years I used a .22 Savage Hi-Power w/70 grain bullets for deer.
