.223 can't kill a deer/bear?!?

[mif_slim]

Here's proof that it can. My brother shot this bear with his AR this morning at 75~ yards. Two 55gr poly tip shots cooked it's lungs and heart. Pass thru with devistating internal damage. Everything inside is jelly. Died 10 yards from where it was initially shot.

Shot placement is key and the .223 BT made a mess of it I am sure!

People are idiots, they argue about ohh my gun .308 and your is .224
what ever .223 has been killing deer bear people for over 50 years now.

Wow!
Any idea on his weight?

I'm confused here...is it, or is it not, legal to hunt with .223 in Kali?

[mif_slim]

^ I say at least 250? My brother, dad and uncle couldn't drag it even when it was dressed.

Humanbeingexpert, center fire rifle is legal here in CA.

Nice job!
What part of the state?

[Exile Machine]

Might kill a bear, sure. But it's been scientifically proven that .223 is completely ineffective on feral hog. The rounds just bounce right off their tough nasty hide.






Now where'd I put that "guy ducking behind the couch" smiley?

Damn I'm gonna run right out and git me a 223, before my my elk Hunt! wish me luck..NOT!

Hell, my grandma took more than a couple deer (UT deer, not these little kali critters) with a .22 Hornet. I realize most of you have no idea what a .22 Hornet is. It's not a .22LR, but it's got less "umph" than a .223.

Holy damn... good shooting. I hope I don't encounter a 250lbs deer, although I do use 60gr Nosler...

[Shoot-it]

That looks like a small bear.No one said it won't kill at close range.Still I would use my 7 mm rem mag over it .

^300 yArds with a 7mm mag?! You should knock down at 800!
