Great cartridge. The 22 creedmoor one ups it a bit in a modern cartridge. But most wouldn’t know the difference.
The 77TMK out of 22-250 is mean medicine. Have to have a fast twist barrel though
My bad my man. 223 is a great deer round with the right bullet.

Deer. Elk. Bear. Whatever.
I’ve used it on deer the last 3 years. Between me and my boys about 12 deer. Devastating. And so easy to shoot with little recoil.
Read the thread I posted. Don’t just go on preconceived thoughts. If nothing else just scroll thread to pictures. 100’s of necropsy...
100s, if not thousands, of examples of 223 being used to kill every kind of game. Mostly with 77TMK.

“Spent primers offer the supreme tutorial”.
I’ve read it here and elsewhere online. It got my attention. I started digging and asking questions and...

They just released new TMK for almost every popular hunting round at the request of hunters. 107/116 for 6 creedmoor. 153 for 6.5 creedmoor/prc.
The 69tmk is what you would want then.
62 grain fusion is no slouch either. Not as frangible as TMK, but really good round. I’ve used on deer several times and does well b
We don’t have this where I live. But I’ve always read it’s good to frost seed on top of a fresh small snow. See your seed and when it melts it works down into the soil.
For just hogs 308 is awesome! Just again use a soft ammo. Corlokt is fine!
Hard ammo is ok in 308 if you shoot into bone of shoulder or spine. Requires a more precise shot.
Long post on this.
I kill a lot of coyotes and hogs. It’s my favorite form of hunting.
In short, 223 WITH the right bullet, is a great choice for both.
If you plan on using monometal like Barnes TSX, 223 will not be your huckleberry. It has a narrow wound channel, and will not give you...
