Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles .223 Rem capabilities

Remember, 223’s are marginal and not recommend for deer. Bullet design and terminal ballistics have nothing to do with it. A 45gr SP is exactly the same as a 50gr mono, which is exactly the same as a 77gr TMK.


Last year was mostly a 6.5 deal, but years prior. Impacts from nearly 3,000fps to just over 1,800. None were “80 pound swampier Louisiana whitetails”.
