    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    That's a good point! I've been tempted to build a 22CM, but the thought of adding a new caliber to my existing lineup sounds daunting. I could appease them with 300WM for a bull (although more tempting to use my 7mmRM to bring the hunt full circle of a generation and 40-some-odd year span at the...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    @PNWGATOR I'm contemplating a Nilgai hunt on South Texas next year. I WANT to believe, but what says the hive mind? This is given they allow it with a 300WM minimum stipulation, but they allowed my parents to use a 7mmRM back in the 80s with two bulls on the ground for their efforts. Their...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    77gr Sierra TMK and Hornady InterLock 60gr. I've used others in the past that worked decently well, but the more I dug into the caliber I kept moving on to the incremental steps up. I have the utmost faith in both projectiles, but my sample size is limited to Whitetail, pigs, Axis, Fallow, and...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    I sure wish I'd known about this thread! I've been a .223 supporter for years and have caught a lot of flack from family and friends (I'd like to point out that it was unwarranted due to my 100% shot/kill rate.... which is probably just now jinxed). Had I known that so many others were...
