I haven't considered killing a Giraffe.... I'm NOT criticizing anyone for killing Zebra...
They seem to me to be like a striped Mule.

I would shoot a Zebra before a Giraffe. Just me.

Don't think anyone would be plinking at them with a 223, just shoot em in the brain and call it dead one shot at a time...

These aren't pics where they were shot with 270s and then someone laid a 223 rifle across the carcass before the pics
were taken, again?

All the "experts" will tell ya that no one can kill anything with a 223, they can only wound them.

I've been waiting for the opportunity to try out the 55 TTSX...

on the neighbor's cat, or the chickens the new neighbors moved into the neighborhood with, and let them run loose all
over the place...

ideal would be a two for one shot.

Yeah Tom, I've got a friend that everyone is trying to convince him, he needs a 300 Win for elk hunting on the property
he inherited that is loaded with Elk.

Even tho I am a 260 fan, my first recommendation for him was a 6.5 Creedmoor... just because they were more available
than a 260

People are funny tho... I responded to a thread years ago about a 243 on elk and boy did I get flamed in campfire fashion..

so I started a thread about using a 223 for elk, and got 10 pages plus of what bullet to use, almost instantly... and no flaming.

with folks asking was I planning using an AR or a bolt action?

Hey if an Injun can drop something with an Arrow... you'd think one of white guys should be able to drop something with
a darn decent bullet regardless of caliber... big or small.
