Naw 223 doesn't work on deer

One shot - round went clear through the deer. Quartering toward me. Shredded the upper portion of the heart. He ran about 20 yards and dropped.
Good 'un...Now get out there and stick one with the Sage

Nice job by the way.

Handload or factory round???
Remington's Hypersonic Bonded 62 grainers
Entrance wound wasn't obvious, exit wound about double 223.

Good shooting!
I ran the 65 grain Sierra about 2850 from a late model Mini 14 and got complete penetration on a shoulder shot and good results and nearly 170 yards. This one made it just about 20 yards as well.

I have it on high authority
from the most accomplished true outdoorsman and lifelong Texas deer hunter that I know, that a 223 out of a mini 14 drops South Texas deer much quicker than a 30-30.
I was quite impressed. I didn't know how I could
Have missed and spun around to take a second shot when he did a somersault and dropped dead. My 30-06 never did any better.
I'll have to try some of that...

The Barnes Vortex 55 grain shots ok in my AR, the Winchester Razorback shoots extremely well. Haven't hunted with it yet but it's gonna happen.
