Re: The official Deer Hunting thread.
40 acres can get tight in a hurry. If there are more than a few vehicles when you get out there, I'd suggest not going.
.223 can be a small round for deer. Ensure you have enough powder and the bullet is designed to expand. Muzzle velocity will be much higher than my .30-30, but I would suggest to keep your targets within an effective 150 yards or closer, due to the rapid slowing down of that round.
Same goes with the .243 your son is using, could be small, shot placement is key. Why not a 7mm?
Good luck out there, and I am not trying to insult you. Just want to ensure you get a good and humane kill shot with your weapons of choice.
