[QUOTE="rtaylor, post: 4409971, member: 10653"] I guess I'll be one of the few to give a real answer based on experience. I've been deer hunting with my AR for 5 years now. I've shot frontal shots at 50 yards to double lung shots at 279 yards. I've used 62 grain to 75 grain and everything in between. At least 15 deer so far without losing one. My kids will be using it this year over the .243 for one reason. They don't flinch when they pull the trigger. A well placed shot with a small caliber is better than a bad placed shot with a big caliber. The .223 leaves a good wound channel and I wouldn't hesitate to use it. [/QUOTE]
