Ayep...good ol .30-30 Winchester is more powerful than puny little .223, for deer, lol Shanti Shanti Shanti Jun 2022 #10

"puny little .223" Happy Hoosier Jun 2022 #53

The .223 is a very poor round for deer, better suited for varmint hunting, period Shanti Shanti Shanti Jun 2022 #59

With all due respect.... Happy Hoosier Jun 2022 #61

I do understand that, but I have heard more than one AR 15 "enthusiast" tout it as a Atticus Jun 2022 #12

ARs can be chambered in many different calibers PTWB Jun 2022 #22

You're partially correct madville Jun 2022 #32

I stand corrected. MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2022 #38

I seriously doubt he's lying, MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2022 #39

Medically the term decapitation sarisataka Jun 2022 #40

It's possible the shooter was using polymer tip bullets NickB79 Jun 2022 #43

Do you think the .223 is tipped with some sort of explosive charge? PTWB Jun 2022 #28

I'll concede that my experience is when the 5.56 round was relatively new, MarineCombatEngineer Jun 2022 #49
