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

Those noggin shots are great til you're off 2" and disable their jaw.

Still lethal, just takes a lot longer.


The volume of deer stacked with damage permits and 40-55 gr bullets in .223, there's no real reason to not be able to use them as far as I can tell.

But he'll, just everything I heard today alone has my head hurting. 270 minimum? Don't use match bullets, they are only for paper?

Our big deer are 230# on the hoof, but due to the years of road hunters using .22 cal, their hair/hide has evolved to Kevlar material.....
Genetic selection

Min .270... bwaaa.. ... clearly someone somewhere is a very poor shot. 6ARC isn't a barrel burner and its PLENTY bullet enough. I can't even wrap my head around thinking 270 is a min caliber
