You bet in fact some will say there is no better 400 yard Mule deer rifle in existance.
LMAO. Obviously that statement was made by a person that hasn’t shot many mule deer.
Or maybe, just maybe, that statement was made by a person who has shot truckloads of mule deer.

Well I have shot at least a couple truckloads of mule deer but I was being sarcastic in that old post. A case could be made that a 223 would make a better open country deer rifle than a thick cover deer rifle because if the deer traveled a bit it wouldn't be that hard to find. Still I would limit my shots to around 200 yards and ideal conditions. I have yet to try the "magic" bullets like the Tipped matchking, maybe someday. I am in the camp of people who think there are actually better all around deer cartridges than the 223 and I have used the round a lot.
