[QUOTE="hoffbill, post: 1737117, member: 75091"] 223 is quite capable of killing whitetail deer effectively. They are thin skinned and light boned. As several posts have mentioned, range is limited and shot placement is critical. I have killed several whitetails at 80-100 yds with 55 and 60 gr Vmax bullets doing neck shots. All down in their tracks. For deer and especially hogs the 62gr Barnes bullets are excellent. I have used them in several calibers and found them very accurate and extremely lethal. They are an alloy bullet, no lead, and have a reputation of penetration and wound channel equal to heavier lead core bullets. Apparently that is a result of their reliable but controlled expansion and excellent weight retention. [/QUOTE]
