[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 504603, member: 2736"] In my opinion both answers are correct to a point. The 223 will kill any north American game if shot placement is perfect. But how long it takes is the issue. On Varmints you have enough energy to take them down in a reasonable time. Also if every shot were perfect for a one shot kill (Head shot) the 223 could be used for larger game, but the conditions are seldom perfect and hits are not allways exactly where you want them. If you make a poor shot on a varmint it is probably a miss and no harm, but a poor shot on a deer can spell disaster. This can happen with even a large caliber if the shot is poor or the range is to much for the shooter. but chances are better with larger calibers because of less deflection from wind and a larger wound and more energy. The size and type of weapon used is a personal choice and one must live with the outcome. Just my opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
