I bought one as a ”trainer”. Sighted in and then shot another box. Took it squirrel hunting and it was fun. Then rifle deer rolled around and took it deer hunting and took a big 6pt buck with it and it went less than 10 yards and died. I used the heavy barrel 223 for a trainer after that and then used the Hawkeye 223 for deer hunting and having my wife warm up with it before shooting her 260.
I’ve burned through almost 1000 rounds of 223 this summer in several ARs and about 100 in a couple different bolt guns and a bulk pack of old Federal 22LR from Walmart in my heavy barreled 22. I told a friend I’m not sure why I use more than a 223 for deer anymore.
