So, it seems you have to use premium bullets for the .223 to be effective. You also need to shoot at closer ranges. You also need to take safe shots. Lung shots.
Kind of sounds like what you'd do with a good old 30-30 with cheap core-lokts.
The 30-30 will destroy less meat, and i'd feel more comfortable shooting a bear with the 30-30 too. Just in case you run in to a grumpy mama with cubs.
I still don't get the .223 except for varmints.
So with bigger cartridges you are all for taking JO ass shots, [bleep] the vitals? I've never not punch bone with the 223AI. Put you experience is akin to JO's on the matter.
You read funny. I never said anything about taking bad shots.
Then again. You're Steelhead, and I expect nothing less from you.
Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a hunting license and that's pretty close.
