I'm glad my dad didn't stick a 223 in my hands prior to that hunt. Didn't see any deer that hunt, but I came home with bacon. For heavier game at longer range there's no way I'd choose to carry a varmint round.

How does shooting a pig with a 30-06 relate to the question at hand in this thread? crazy

6mm CM on the left and .223 on the right.

Both worked just fine with similar shot placement.
