.223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game
There are shot angles easily handled by a 308 that I would not take with any 22 caliber. -

So you are not sure where it will land when you pull the trigger? -

.223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game
I am going to start with the 88 gr. ELDM factory loads. Probably go to either of the X or M 80 grain bullets when I start loading the ARC. -

There you are, if it's not excessive then where is the problem? -

.223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game
Neither has excessive recoil. Yes I can fire more consecutive rounds accurately through a 223 than a 308 but that number with a 308 is much larger than virtually any hunting situation would require with the exception of prairie dogs or other colony rodents. I used to shoot my left over 30-06 elk... -

.223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game
In hunting situations I can easily shoot a 7-08, 7x57 or 308 as well as I can shoot a 223. I have shot thousands of rounds through rifles chambered for those four cartridges. Recoil to me is cumulative. I can put the first three shots from much heavier recoiling rifles than those listed exactly... -

.223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game
I competed in 3 position shooting in both hi power and rimfire for years. When I pull the trigger, whether I see the bullet impact or not is immaterial because I know where it went. I have been shooting the 223 and 308 since 1974 among many other cartridges. -

.223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game
Ha ha ha you must be kidding. How does recoil effect your shooting while hunting? With a minor amount of practice and good form it shouldn't even bother you on the bench, Talking 308 Winchester. -

What are the actual disadvantages? Say of using a 308 instead of a 223. -

22 ARC
Ordered a light 16 inch 22 ARC barrel from Faxon. A few more parts and will assemble it. Gas gun velocity I hope will match that of a 20 inch 223 with 75-80 grain bullets. Deer, coyotes and feral hogs. Probably won't be finished before deer season ends but coyotes and hogs will still be targets. -

What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?
Maybe so but for me anyway heavy loads from a 7MM RM or a 30-06 do not effect my ability to place bullets in the right place. -

What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?
So a 250 grain Nosler Partition out of a 35 Whelen has absolutely nothing on a 223 using relatively soft hunting/match style bullets? Personally I feel that for most of us a 7-08 running good bullets weighing 120-140 grains at the same velocities or higher than a 223 can push the 77 gr. TMK is... -

22 ARC versus 223
Well I already have a Grendel and a 6ARC so I have magazines. None are curved and the Elanders hold 17 rounds they do have a slight forward curve. Nothing like an AK47 magazine. -

22 ARC versus 223
I am thinking the 22 ARC would be a good choice if I wanted to shoot the TMK and heavier -X and -M bullets. It seems you need a longer magazine or a faster twist than many 223 rifles have and Factory ammo using good bullets is very available. I thought about getting a 1-7 twist barrel for my... -

6 arc or 6.5 grendel
And that has exactly nothing to do with the OP's question. Nothing. -

6ARC and 6.5 Grendel 105 and 123 gr, Hornady BTHP for deer
That appears adequate.- FredH

Match bullets vs early hunting bullets
Well it's true that energy can't tell you what shape or form a wound channel will make but is it possible it could measure wound volume roughly. I mean comparatively a 162 grain bullet of identical construction to a bullet weighing 75 grains impacting at the same velocity would make a larger... -

50-500y 6.5 Black Bear Bullet
Hah! I would happily use a 140 grain Sierra Gameking. -

Match bullets vs early hunting bullets
I am old enough to have used some of the early hunting bullets. The bronze points, Winchester had a hollow point that was a flat bronze color and the early Sierra Gamekings. They pretty much did what modern match bullets are doing, get in a bit and come apart. In fact a lot of early hunting...
