I put together a little CZ 527 carbine in 223 as my predator rifle. It will also be my sons first deer rifle. I took a nice fat doe a few years back with the 223 TSX 55 grain. It was 125 yard broad side shot and put her down. I am impressed with the performance of the TSX 55 grain as a deer round. It will do anything a 243 will do on a deer under 200 yards. Ammo is cheap and more important, the 223 is fun to shoot all day.
