That wasn't the question. Even if it was a .223? It actually does have lots to do with headstamp doesn't it?


That's why I said "BG rifle." I don't hunt big game with .223's. The rifles I have the most confidence in right now are a .308, 7-08, and 6.5-06, because they all shoot where I'm aiming out to farther than I have any business shooting.

I have a 7 mag., .30-06, .300 Wby, and so on. They're not as accurate as the others. So they'd stay home despite the "better" headstamp.

For larger animals, and the hunt of a lifetime I may think differently, but your question was on deer and sheep.
