[QUOTE="JPHunter, post: 2826477, member: 74047"] G'day, I've just picked up a sauer 100 in .223 with a 1:10 twist. It is mostly for shooting varmints like foxes, hares etc. I would like the ability to be able to shoot deer if the opportunity arises. Just wondering what experience people have had with .223 in 1:10 twist and some bullet options that may be suitable. I may never shoot a deer with it, and if I did would limit myself to shots I deem acceptable. I have seen a red hind shot with a 55 grain soft point out of a howa 1500 .223 years ago, she ran about 60 yards and fell over dead. Preference is for factory ammunition, I can handload but really can't be bothered these days unless I really have to. Three little kids and a house with lots of work needed takes up my former free time. [/QUOTE]
