[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1480522, member: 30902"] The fact that several million hogs and deer will be taken with them again this year in Texas is all the evidence necessary. The difference in a .223 and 6mm is ..236"" The difference between a .223 and a 6.5mm is .41" Put a good bullet in the right spot and your deer is dead. Put the bullet in the right spot and your hog is dead. While I don't recommend it for everyone I've even taken hogs over 300lbs with a .204 Ruger and had dozens of young kids kill deer and hogs both with the .204, .223, and .220 swift. Of course bigger and heavier rounds give you a broader margin of error that goes without saying but with any of them you still have to put it where it belongs or watch them run. [/QUOTE]
