200 yards and under there isn't a shot angle I would pass up with the .223AI that I would take with the 7mm-08, .300Sav, .308W or .30-06. Further with the .22-250.

Is it more the 'AI' or the quality projectiles that have elevated the 223 (221, 222, etc) from 'too light' in the eyes of almost every major gunwriter?

I've never shot one at a deer, so I dont know. I am guessing its advancemetns in projectiles.

your thoughts?
