To what range would you limit your shots on game with a .223? I ask because I am a noob to the cult.

I’ve taken deer and antelope at just over 300 yards (309) with the .223. I’ve used a lot of different bullets through the years but now I pretty much just use the 75 gr Speer Gold Dot.


Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.

The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.

Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.
