You hunt with a .223 on up Mark and have tagged a 'few' critters. Where does a guy draw the line? Lets just say that I know of a few critters from lopes and deer on up that have been nuked with a 17 Rem. The 25 Horn and the 25 Barnes did there job just fine as long as we did ours. If I could only get Barnes to do a 32 or so TSX for the .204 I'd be all over that one...grin Dober Dober, Put me down for a couple of boxes of .204 TSX's, I'd love to try them in my .204 pocket rocket. Only thing is the state of Oregon say you can't hunt deer with anything smaller than a 22 centerfire. Maybe I just wouldn't tell them. What's the Longbranch? We have a Longbranch Tavern in Monroe. Good place to have a beer and has better food than the local restaurant. Doc

Sam,
They had a cool looking station at the west(?) end of town, but I don't remember if they made it into a restaurant.
I betcha they did just that however.
Been too many years since I have been up that way; I need to change that one of these days...

Doc-most every town in Montana has one or maybe two Longbranch saloons and of course a Mint as well...  And don't forget the Stockmans (bank or bar or both) Dober

Depends on what you consider "better"
Historically, I've seen people change what they think is better many times.

Hey here's a idea - shoot'em with a 3 ft long 223 with a pointed end. Now there's a challenge.

I'm deaf so he keeps it simple Dober....grin
We all know a 223 will kill a deer.
A bigger gun just gives a guy alot more thump for the all to often less than ideal situation. I'll take the extra thump. Sam, saying that makes you... Let's see if I can keep it all straight... You are both stupid and unintelligent... You are a [bleep] idiot... You are a load your mother should have swallowed... You don't know chit... And about a dozen more I can't recall, cause I'm such a dumb idjit what never shoulda been borned by my mama... What a load of CRAP these guys spew. Talk about your straw man arguments; I have never, once, said a .223 won't work. NEVER. I killed a deer with a .22RF, and it was lights-out. I'm for thinking a .22 CF would be lights-out too in the right circumstances. And just for you Steelhead (PH), I've killed two deer with a 30-06, but I decided it was more gun than I needed/wanted for the deer I hunt, how I hunt them. But you know what, PH? I got 8 preference points saved up for THE premium mule deer hunt in Oregon. It's a high-desert hunt down near Nevada in the Trout Ck mountains. There is no way that I, the rest of us, or by your own tacit admission YOU are packing a .223 for that trophy DEER hunt that takes 10 years to save up for. And that proves my point. The 30-06 is a better general-purpose deer cartridge than the .223. Thanks for agreeing. You can expect to see your own words quoted anytime you choose to be a peckerhead (PH) on this subject. Grin.
The CENTER will hold.

You havin a bad day as well Jeff?
I am curious as to why it takes 10 years of saving to get 8 preference points. Sounds like you got screwed on that deal.

Thank you RyanScott; If you want to kill deer, and not be afraid
of recoil, I raised all three of my boys on my good old standby
.270 with 130 gr. bullet; .243 might do on does on head shots, but I would not shoot anything less;
kill them quick, with the right equipment;
I would never shoot at a deer with a .223;
for all you naysayers out there, check out the twist of any .223
barrel; the round tumbles after about 100 yds; It's designed to tumble and fragment after hitting anything; even a blade of grass
will cause the round to fragment; Hits your finger, and tears up your hand; That's what it's supposed to do; Not designed to kill deer; Holy schit. What a [bleep]' brain child. How in the name of holy hell Marines (bt/dt) ever qualify at 500 meters with a bullet tumbling for 400 of those meters, must be [bleep]' beyond me............... DSMFer, where the hell they keep coming from, is a mystery worth of Holmes.

This was my brother's response when I informed him a .223 is the chit for wildass Breaks bucks. Seriously the only deer he has shot was with a .22-250(nice buck on a calm day). ![[Linked Image]](http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e78/montanasam/Roundup2007021.jpg) I like your brother's response better...

Jeezus................................................
Oh, you do so have to check out the "longhunter" thread, too. I ain't anywhere near drunk enough for this schit recently. Right now, not sure if getting drunk enough is even possible.
