Hey, just wondering what some of your thoughts were about using a .223 semi automatic Ruger Mini on deer. Of course shot placement is crucial but is a 62gr bullet enough to get the job done?
As already stated it is not legal to pursue big game with a cal less then .23.
But that said it appears that this law is one of many in the Alberta game laws that needs to be carefully reviewed. If you consider the ballistics, effectivness of bullet construction, and the accuracy of a rifle I would suggest that the .223 or the .22-250 would be far superior to something like a 35 Rem, or a 357Mag in a lever gun. I don't know that the 22-250 or 223 should be brought in to what is legal, but perhaps some of the others should be excluded too. Just because it is over .23 cal does not mean it is acceptable.

Just my two cents
Do you know anything about the .35 Rem??? Seriously??
230 /300H&H work for ya...I'm guessin 4500fps with a 35 grain bullet
that sounds dangerous.....
i just did a google search and came up with 5 different .230 wildcats. seems to be no commercial makers building bullet anymore though, so guys that have them are swaging their own.
.223 for Whitetail
