The .223 Remington is one of the most popular centerfire cartridges in history and has seen renewed attention as a big-game round in recent years.⁠ ⁠ The truth, however, is that it’s been a topic of discussion as a deer cartridge for many decades. While it’s been banned in some states under .243/6mm minimum regulations, it has been a mainstay in others — particularly in Texas and other southeastern states. The .223 is inherently accurate, ammo is affordable, and modern purpose-built bullets have elevated its effectiveness even further. The key here is that the .223 is fun and affordable to shoot. For decades, many deer hunters have been using the .223 as their go-to deer-hunting cartridge — maybe it’s something you should consider too.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #hunting #huntingseason #deerhunting #deerseason #rifleseason #riflehunting #huntingrifle #huntingcartridge #outdoors #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: thetylerfreel⁠ Story by: thetylerfreel
