[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 835294, member: 39764"] That covers it in a nutshell. I hunted Michigan Deer for years with my 223 bolt Savage and shooting a 55 grain Hornady V-Max and they all went down, right now. No muss, no fuss. I put it where it needed to be. I've taken a lot of flak over hunting deer with a varnmit rifle but it works. No snap shots, take my time and get it right there. I've handgunned deer too. My 44 Smith is wicked at 50-75 yards. I've stepped up to a 308 but the 223 is a reliable killer with proper placement. I know a fella that dropped an 8 point buck with a 10-22 Ruger carbine at around 50 yards. Zipped him right through the eyeball crossways and scrambled his noodle (what little noodle a deer has)..... I certainly don't recommend deer hunting with a 22, but it can be accomplished. [/QUOTE]
