First deer with my 223! - 12/07/17
I crapped out last season, never saw a deer with a rifle in my hand. This season is starting off better. My first time in the stand this year and I put meat on the ground. 160lb 7pt at 254yds. Used my 223Rem Ruger m77 Ultralight pushing a 50gr Barnes at 3200fps. He ran about 50-60yds across the field then collapsed. I've taken deer with my 22-250, 220 Swift, and 220 Wilson Arrow, but this is my first ever with a 223. I doubt it will be my last.
