[QUOTE="Clark, post: 413448, member: 6600"] If the #1 elk cartridge is 30-06 180 gr, then a .223 is overkill for the biggest mule buck. That flies in the face of conventional wisdom, because what is really going on is we carry all the rifle with can. A boy's rifle weighs less than 5 pounds. A man's rifle weighs less than 10 pounds. It is just no fun to carry any more than that. So we shoot mule deer with a 270, because we can make an accurate 270 with less than 10 pounds and a man can carry it. The reason we don't normally hunt big deer with a .223 is that we can carry something heavier. [/QUOTE]
