So you endorse using a .223 REM out to 200 yards? OK. I was under the mistaken impression that this was a shorter range proposition. 200 yards makes this seem much more practical....... POINTBLANK says a 64 Grain WIN PP travelling at 3000fps at the muzzle has about 800ft/lbs left at 200 yards. This is sufficient?
My main reason for asking is that I moved to 25-06 for coyote at that range.
Unless your deer weighs more than 800 pounds, you are good to go!
And Im guessing you're not shooting coyotes for the fur......
The more of this stuff you do the more you'll come to realize that we:
1) Use guns that are too big for the job and
2) use fishing tackle thats too heavy for the job.
Technology has fixed a lot of "what ifs" with premium bullets and super duper braided and other lines....I use the same 5 and 1/2 foot ultralight on creek trout and on Northern pike...
