Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Have you used the .223 for deer/antelope?

That is what convinced me. The farmer whose land I hunt on had a teenage daughter with a single shot Rossi .223, and the 7th deer she killed with it was a 140" north MO brute. I figured I'm at least as good a shot/hunter as she is with her 55 grain Winchester factory loads. I prefer 65 grain Sierra's or 75 grain Hornady ELD's in my .223 though.

25-20 also kills deer when you hit them right, in case anyone was wondering.
