[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 2790786, member: 59915"] I have 243’s and 6.5’s and they kick just as hard as this 125 grain 30-06 load but the 30-06 hits harder and puts the deer down faster than both the 243 and 6.5. I’ve killed several deer with all 3 rifles and have near identical results on all the deer. The 125grain 30-06 load just puts the deer down faster. By that I mean they consistently travel shorter distances from the spot the deer was shot. I have not shot any deer with any of my 223’s but I can’t imagine they’ll put a deer down any faster than the 243 or 6.5. If I were doe hunting only I wouldn’t care about using the 223 but when you’re hunting a trophy deer I can’t make myself walk in the woods with something that small with so many more better calibers in the safe. And if I’m hunting somewhere I can shoot past 150 yards or so I take something more substantial like my 6.5-284, 308, 7-08, or just a different set up 30-06. But that’s just me. I’ve tried several different calibers and setups from the stand and the combo I posted about works best for me so I thought I’d share it. That’s all. [/QUOTE]
