Here you go. 15 pages of quarter bore love:

.25 Cal (Quarter Bore) / Big Game Success - 25 Creed, 25-284, 25-06, 25 PRC, 25 SAUM

With Berger making high BC 25 Cal bullets and Hornady jumping in, I would love to see people’s results.

The lanbos website that was linked recently. Definitely a solid company to deal with

Humor is hard to do texting. Sigh, I didn’t shoot a T. rex.

But if you could, you would, and with a .223 Tikka slinging 77 TMK’s…. And that’s all that really matters in this thread.

.223 for anything big game?

I saw on another forum that the .223 is the ultimate do all hunting cartridge. Even as good as big 30 cal rifles. Even after reading the thread I’m just not convinced. I have my own experience with all kinds of cartridges on big game animals. However this is the place that I trust for...

I just read that also. As Jeff said over there....each to their own which I think is true.
This thread has given and continues to give shooters/hunters data and evidence to evaluate and make their own choices.

THE entire point of this thread is what works.

Period.

For those of you with Tikka’s: what barrel length are you guys shooting for the .223?

Man, over the years I occasionally looked to both Broz (Jeff) and FURMAN (Ryan Furman) for help and advice as I bought, built, and shot a handful of different cartridges. I had meaningful and interesting conversations with both of them thru Rokslide. They were regulars here. I even bought one of the first unicorn, 8 twist 6.5CM superlites from Ryan after he'd played with it for a while.

Reading some of their drivel now really makes me wonder....that sand they've gotten their heads into must have firmed up a bit.

Methinks they haven't read the entire thread!

LRO is Fudd city USA.

Let's start a bingo board for their thread on the .223 topic:

It would have spots for common Fudd phrases such as: "use enough gun", ft. lbs of energy, 30 cal or bust, animals deserve better etc.

Could be a grand ol time.

Hornady Factory Ammo 75gr BTHP 5.56 superformance. I’m getting 2900 fps out of an 18” barrel AR. Last year we killed a ewe, a deer and two antelope with the set up. We kill around 3 or 4 animals a year with the 223. I’ve used a number of different bullets from 55gr on up to 75gr. The 75gr Hornady BTHP is by far my favorite. It’s explosive like the 77gr TMK, but tends to penetrate better, giving me good sized exits on most deer sized animals. The exits provide a better blood trail which comes in handy once in a while.

Well I did learn a 7-300 WM is clearly inferior to a 300 WM.
