(please don't tell me to buy a rifle in whatever your favorite hunting round is)

thanks in advance
[QUOTE=alvaro.salazar;19845373]I've been hunting plenty of times but I guess I should have stated that never with a 223, and things like ammo for these kind of situations and advice for shot placement or advice/opinion in general for hunting with this round would be helpful, that's all.

In the OP you mention having ONLY a 223 gun, then you say you have hunted plenty of times. With what did you hunt with previously, what did you hunt, at what range?

You seem to be contradicting yourself. Just a kind observation.

Sorry Napalm. Not directing this to you. If copied and pasted wrong
