If you use enough gun to start with this thread is moot. George Thanks, George. There's gotta be one on every .223 for deer thread. That’s why you should punch it out to a 223AI a real mans rifle!!!

Shot a 10 point at 500 yards Saturday. Tipped a hat rack 7 Friday night.
Posted a pic on the ‘slide
Hammered that thing. Hooves up in less then 4 steps on the 10. The 7 was lights out as well but to be expected at 275 or so.
6th deer in a fortnight with that bullet. Haven’t got any to make it last 30 paces. Prefer 77 tmk’s up close but at range .467bc and shorter bearing aka more velocity wins.
Pretty stoked with that ten tho. Plenty of mass and a real fun spot and stalk.. was looking for mule deer but couldn’t pass it up. Been hunting my ass off this fall. Only missed 15 days since mid September and 10 of those were a surf trip.
As for knots. Got my 100 ton at age 21 to run a transport hunting boat on kodiak/sound.. ended up spending 8 seasons total on the gulf/bering.. its sorta stuck at this point.
