Heres a couple of my latest 223 kills. I used the 60gr Partition on both, one shot each...
Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

I thought I was entered I signed up to give you some competition... Look at his head, his scalp was torn loose and he had a hole about the size of a nickel thru his skull. No brain injury and it was trying to heal up, no idea how he was injured. Until he ran across my 223 that is...

Winnie1300, When I was in the Army at Ft. Knox, Kentucky we could only use 12 gauge slugs for deer. I seriously doubt your CO would let an automatic weapon out of the Arms room. I'm guessing the recruiter blew smoke up your a$$
You could buy your own shotgun and store it in the arms room. Thanks for your service to your country. whelennut
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

Tons of great photos here. Winnie, if you do wind up in Alabama give me a hollar. BUT don't plan on getting any of your 'wish list' first duty stations unless you have it in writting in your original contract.

53gr V-Max HSN factory load, about 15 yds from my 16 1/2 inch barreled AR-15 quartering to the left. This is the entrance side. Deer went 20 yds and flopped:

Yeah, I'd asked him before. It's fitty-fitty orange and black. Travis Travis is correct. Sorry for the LONG delay in response.

I think I forgot to post a pic of the doe I got last week. Anyway, here she is, I got her at 100 yards. I hit her a little high and back from the shoulder, as she stepped into a dry creek bed right as I fired the shot. The bullet nicked the bottom edge of her spine and she went down DRT. I used my Son's 223 for her with the 60gr Partition.

Coldcase, why don't you give the Fusions a try and let us know how they work. I have some on the way that a friend gave me, I'm sure going to give them a try. I also have some Power Points to try. Only problem is I'm running out of tags...

As is shown from all the pics, hit them right and down they go.
I try to aim for a head / neck shot with my 223 - if i am ever caught short with it and come across a deer.
