I was reading up on the .223 on Deer and saw where a guy wrote Federal Cartridges and asked which one of it's line of .223 ammunition did they recommend for Deer sized animals...
They wrote back 60 grain Nosler Partition..
I really expected one of the Barnes or maybe the Fusion to be in it..Not..Just the 60 grain Partition.

Finally, I strongly suspect the ones who do use 22 cal for big game have all lost game before, they just wont tell you about it. I strongly suspect the ones who do use .30 cal for big game have all lost game before, they just wont tell you about it.

Hey NSAQAM, Larry is very "IN", LOL
You also dishonor the 28th division by using the unit patch as an insult.

Big holes work better: ![[Linked Image]](http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z377/rocketcity1/Lee61calmold.jpg) Wow Larry, your latest butt plug?

Glad to see my appeal to act like adults has been so successful and all the name calling, foul mouthing and acting like Chuck Norris wannabes has stopped. My I wish you one and all, the blessings of our Lord on this sabbath day. Let's ALL stay on the same track to redemption come tomorrow !

It was in version 4 or 5, I dont have either here at my house, but I am sure someone could check. But even better than the partition, I would think the x bullet would be a game changer. I still personally, out west, am not interested in packing one as I want long range knockdown, and some wind resistance.

My biggest objection to 22 cal being used for deer is pretty simple. most poachers love them, and if you had land that poachers had literally anialated the black tail deer herd, you might gain that opinion also.

The 75gr Swift is a pretty impressive .224" hunting bullet too, considering weight, construction, and BC.

yep, you are probably right Mark.
Hey, the 223 is better than an arrow, but, in all seriousness, are you going to buy your 16 year old boy his only deer rifle, in 223?

Elk and the .223. Why not? My question is WHY? Are you bored with a 30-06 that it can do the job just about in every condition? Seriously?

For elk hunting I mean? I mean come on, sure I could kill an elk with a 223, but I sure would not recommend it.
Once again, show up in elk camp, on a trophy bull elk hunt, and see how impressed your guide will probably be. Especially in rough terrain.
