My fav 223 load for deer has been to load the 223 back into the safe and pull out my .250-3000 stoked with 100gr Barnes TSX's pushed with a max load of H414.

(But, I may have to try one of my .223's since I now have one with a fast-twist barrel that can handle longer bullets...)

Bring enough gun and know how to use it.

Know that it is not the knowing, nor the talking, nor the reading man, but the doing man, that at last will be found the happiest man. - Thomas Brooks (1608-1680)
