[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1480442, member: 30902"] I'm not doing any back peddling at all. Whether it's a .223 or 375 Rum you still have to put it in the right place or watch your target run off. The .223, Swift, and 22-250 are fantastic choices to start off kids, women, and anyone else that might have an issue with recoil. No, I wouldn't suggest any of them the ideal for a 350lbs Canadian wt as a first choice but with a good non frangible bullet they would still get the job done at anything resembling reasonable range for most novice shooters. The Swift and 22-250 are both also extremely popular with Antelope hunters and extremely capable on them out to 400 yards. Just don't load them with highly frangible/varmint ammunition and you have a very capable round in both. I never said they are "ideal deer cartridges" I was very specific in what I said. Like it or not the .223 is the most popular caliber for hog hunters and they are a whole lot tougher than any WT that has ever lived. [/QUOTE]
