[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1486546, member: 30902"] Even the .223 is plenty for southern WT's at sub 400yds ranges. Bigger northern deer, heavier body mass changes the equation completely. A really big WT buck in the southern tier of states will rarely exceed even 200lbs live weight with most coming in below 150. Get up to Iowa or Maine and you can easily double that. I've seen Mulies in N. NM and CO easily exceed 300lbs. What's appropriate differs greatly on where you are hunting. [/QUOTE]
