I have a Ruger Compact in .223 and it is quite a handy rig. A couple of years ago I filled both my buck tags on opening day but still had a doe tag left. With my high batting average I figured I would just run my yote/trap line with my lil gun. I happened to get three yotes that day and punch my doe tag. I was running factory Federal fodder with 62 gr (I think) bonded bear claw slugs. Dropped that doe faster than my '06 did with 150 gr hand loads. Needless to say I take that little runty .223 out more often. I'd love to try a heavier 75 Gr A-max but I'm not sure I have the spin for it in the Ruger.
