Anyone shoot deer with a .223

[mikey2]

64 grain soft point neck shot. DRT!

[Hydestik]

.223 is perfectly legal and many deer are killed with them. If you have a 30.06 or 30/30 I would use one of them.

[Death from Above]

Hornady Black in 75 grain.

just picked up 2 boxes will let ya know how they do.

Yep, probably @ 20-30, most center mass in the shoulder, never run past 40 yards.

I wouldn't shoot the 60gr v-max more of a varmint round. Shoot a leaded soft point. Like a core-loc type bullet.

I never have, but my son will be assuming he can hit a pie plate (8") 7 outta 10 times between now and mid nov. teaching him to aim for a high shoulder shot to deliver shock to the top of the vitals, central nervous system and structure.

To be honest, I'm a bit nervous, sorta wish now I had gottwn him a .243 or 7mm-08.

He will be shooting 62 gr Fusions

Deer won't die if the bullet doesent go bang! Have half a box for my son's Savage .223 and AT LEAST 30% or more have been failure to fire with solid strike marks on the primer. I had 3 in a row yesterday at the range.

I’ve shot many deer with a .220 swift. Never an issue. I always try to ask the deer if they prefer the swift, 25-06 or 6.5 CM but I never get an answer.

Killed a truck load with both 223 and 22-250. Kid shot about 40 last year on a MLD ranch. said he didn't like any. He mostly neck shoots though

[lost cajun]

I was skeptical at first but both of my boys killed their first deer with a single shot .223. One dropped and other only made it about 40 yards. Good placement is key.
