[QUOTE="Remington700, post: 5250879, member: 18600"] I started my daughter with a 223 because I could shrink it down to fit her. I researched and shot Federal Fusion MSR rounds. She killed several deer with it, they were all heart shots. The deer did not bleed enough to even blood trail. You had to walk the direction they ran and trip over them (30-50 yards). Needless to say I moved her up to a 243. A 223 will get the job done, but its not an optimal caliber for deer. [/QUOTE]
