[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 2754269, member: 105102"] If you follow the Mono theory, wouldn't lighter at high speeds be the answer? I can't deer hunt with 223, but I use it for predator hunting. My load in 223 while calling when there's potential to run into cougars is a 45gr Barnes pushed to the max......I haven't yet shot anything bigger than a coyote with it yet, but it's what I'd grab. The only deer I saw killed with a 223 was with a 50gr hollow point, broadside at 100. No exit, lung soup, and it stepped 20 feet and fell over. It worked but if it had run or got into brush I wouldn't have wanted to track it. I yeld to those that actually have experience using it, but am surprised by how many answers are heavy bullets in a small case......I would have expected more of "speed kills" answers. Thoughts?
