[QUOTE="Hunt 365, post: 5041783, member: 6714"] Yes, you CAN kill a deer with a .223. But I shot a hog and 2 deer with one and never found them. Next deer, a doe, shot perfectly, no blood trail and only found her grid searching. The .223 (5.56 NATO) was made to wound a man, not kill him. I was using expanded ammo. But I lost faith in it. And the reality is you are shooting a .22 caliber bullet. So, more power to you, but I don’t like the caliber. If you’re shooting an AR-10 or a larger caliber, more power to you. I have nothing against black rifles. I just don’t like the .223 and think TN should’ve never allowed them for deer. [/QUOTE]
