[QUOTE="AJared, post: 5555965, member: 8934"] Shot a deer at 110 yards with a .223 this year. It ran 30 yards and dropped. Pencil size hole going in and a nickel size hole on exit straight through side to side. I was shooting 62 grain Federal Fusion ammo. If you are confident in your shooting skill, can hit a softball at 100 yards under pressure, limit your shots to under 125 yards, and use the right ammo it is an acceptable caliber to use on whitetail deer. I would never attempt a 200 yard shot on a trophy buck with a .223. That is what I have a 30-06. ;) [/QUOTE]
