Seeking Recommendations for My Next Hunting Rifle

[Turkeytider]

If legal in the state you're hunting, no reason not to go for it.

I was being facetious. Too many better calibers, IMO, than .223 that would increase the chances of a DRT shot if/when everything doesn`t go perfectly as far as shot placement is concerned. Obviously, there are those who would disagree with my opinion

Take the time to read the *entire* 223 thread and your opinion may change based on real data, arguments, and real-life post mortems presented.

The OP doesn't need anything larger than what he already has.
