So true on the 223. Much of this is because American hunters don’t have the exposure of hunting lots of big game animals. You do see it use though on big game. Basically you have one side that says using a 223 will be the worst decision of your life, then spout off figures and theoretical scenarios and then you have the other side that posts pics of successful hunts every year with their 223.
The 243 is a solid caliber as well.
