Hi, im new here. Didnt have the time to read thisthread but .223 should only be used for coyotes or small game.New rule! If you’re an FNG your first ten posts can’t be in this thread. We all know why.

I started a 223 Loads thread in the reloading section. In post #7 I was directed to this thread for all my 223 questions.This would be nice, but I don't think it would happen. There are several threads on 223 loading, but they don't get the traffic and responses like this one does.
Also, I’ve never actually killed an elkHi, im new here. Didnt have the time to read thisthread but .223 should only be used for coyotes or small game.
If you ever do, please use a Cheytac to be the most human hunter.Also, I’ve never actually killed an elk
.223 is perfect for deer, with a few important points though. ..you have to use a slow expansion bullet. keep shots under 150 yards. obviously others here will debate but believe me. my picks are barnes tsx as mentioned above or better winchester deer season...the bullet has to be slow expanding.
what not to do...dont use varmint rounds up close, no penetrate
dont use fmj or matchkings far out. theyll wound but not good enuf
do not try headshots they nearly never work on deer anatomy
ok let flames start .
That looks like a “small kid could ride a tricycle through it” chest wound.Another critter with my pea shooter. Shot was about 80 yards walking. Sow fell where she stood at the shot. Case knife is a standard size trapper for reference.

Flame? No…. Maybe suggest you might read the thread and look at the wound channel pictures. The results might surprise you..223 is perfect for deer, with a few important points though. ..you have to use a slow expansion bullet. keep shots under 150 yards. obviously others here will debate but believe me. my picks are barnes tsx as mentioned above or better winchester deer season...the bullet has to be slow expanding.

This is correct. The topic at hand was bears. In my experience:Hunters love to exaggerate how big/tough/hard to kill that animals are.
Two posts total, joined earlier today it appears. Welcome to the forum.About any caliber will kill I would not recommend using a 223.
Luckily instead of listening to your random uninformed opinion, there’s a thread with hundreds of posts with pictures that proves you are incorrect. Let me see if I can find it for you. Oh right, it’s the one you’re actually in right now…About any caliber will kill I would not recommend using a 223.
Not really, he said he would not recommend it. I disagree with his implied reasoning, but I cannot disagree with him stating what he would or would not recommend, even if I disagree with the recommendation.Luckily instead of listening to your random uninformed opinion, there’s a thread with hundreds of posts with pictures that proves you are incorrect.

No, I cannot disagree with the fact that HE would not recommend it.So you cannot disagree with his recommendation not to recommend the .223, despite your recommendation to recommend the .223?
No, I cannot disagree with the fact that HE would not recommend it.
I can and do disagree with the recommendation. Seriously though, who am I to tell him he doesn't know his own mind, troll or not.
It was a lawyerly word game that ignored the obvious intended meaning by strictly sticking to the words. It was intended to be funny and make the point that a troll throwing out bait is not worth engaging.His own mind doesn’t change reality though. If he believes the earth is flat, who am I to tell him his own mind? To me it doesn’t matter what he thinks, he’s objectively wrong.

Very clearly I failed. I will hang my head in shame for 3 milliseconds, then stop cluttering this thread.
Looks like black hills ammo finally got some of their 77 TMKs out in the marketplace
