I agree to an extent, but with new bullet construction and some older bullets like a Nosler PT AND an ethical shot, I don't have a problem.

For the record, I don't deer hunt with a 223, but in the event of another component shortage, I want to be able to enjoy deer hunting, hence my question.

I appreciate all the responses, there's some bright minds on the Fire.


24HCF in its entirety, is solely responsible for why my children do not have college funds, my mortgage isn't paid-off and why I will never retire early enough to enjoy the remainder of my life.
