[QUOTE="JN, post: 5251156, member: 763"] I shot a couple of doe with it one year using the federal fusion. All were good shots and farthest run was about 100 yards but was in a field and she ran to the edge of the woods and died there. I have had deer do the same thing with a .270 it is like they are conditioned to just run to the woods. I mainly used the .223 just to see if it would work and it did. My preferred rifle to use is a 30-30 in the woods where I prefer to be. If I do hunt the fields it is the .270. On another note a few years ago I wanted to build an AR deer rifle with better knock down then the .223 and as I looked at ballistics of what calibers were available I came to the conclusion I was just wasting my money on a build that wasn’t any better then my 30-30 or .270. So I bought a new scope for the 30-30 instead. Since then a few calibers have peaked my interest but not enough to drop the money on a build yet. [/QUOTE]
