Define too much time? Just because one might have 'more' free time don't mean his time is less important............grin

Then what are we disputing, varying degrees of dead? That somehow the .223 is a better deer round than the 30-06. I didn't start the thread and understand the subjective nature of the word 'better'. I just felt like the onus should be on the ones that claim that it is. I'm enjoying the banter as well. Can't hunt 'til tomorrow.  I DO have too much time!

Can't get mo dead than dead. I've had deer go further when hit the same with a 300 Savage and 35 Whelen than I have with a 223. Don't make the others bad or wrong, but there are LOTS of equals when it comes to killing deer, sans extremes.

Don't make the others bad or wrong, but there are LOTS of equals when it comes to killing deer, sans extremes. What do you attribute that observed difference to? Is it superior 'performance' of the .223 bullet in the internal damage it inflicts? Superior shot location using the .223? A combination of the two? Or is it just one of those 'random' deals, where otherwise 'identical' deer are hit in effectively the same location with the same bullet and one DRT's while the other runs 100 yards before 'realizing' it's already dead?

Deer guns tend to differ by region.
If I were shooting across a canyon, at a rutted out mulie buck, I would not want my 223. Hell...I would not opt for my 223 if I were shooting at a 'yote across a canyon either, I would prefer my 22-250AI, or 243.

I shot four deer this year with a .375 but had I a scoped .223 on hand I would have been as comfortable with it.
