Bullet construction is Key! Deer ain't varmints. Sucks when " dad" buys bullets designed for prairiedogs for the kids to hunt deer with then get ****ed because they loose a deer.
Bottom line is, there is plenty enuff energy to very humanely kill a deer at 300 yards with a a 223 but to many folks buy cheap varmint bullets.

So a 223 and a 22-250 are quite susceptible to issues with barrel twist and the majority of them have difficultys stabilizing the 60 grain partitions unless you have a 9 twist which most dont. So shooting the 60 out of the long twist barrels does certainly have the strong possibility of not stabilizing the longer bullet and especially at the longer distances. The 60 partition is too small and most certainly the 45 grain bullets would also be used if the cartridge was legal as they work better with the longer twist barrels. If you guys think its ok to shoot big game animals with a 45 grain bullet from any cartridge then you have no respect at all for the animal
