Big Joe, I'll explain that ammo this way...
If you had a friend who absolutely, positively vowed to run full tilt and head first into a concrete wall, you'd say, "At least wear a helmet!"
That Federal .223 load is like that. For the (insert applicable term here) who insists on using a .223 for deer, you can say, "At least use this Federal load!"
For the rest of you, here in Utah the minimum for deer (the last time I looked) was "a rifle of at least .22-caliber centerfire." The Utah DWR continues to use that language simply because there are so many (insert that same term here) who are too cheap to buy two rifles, and they insist on using their .22-250s for mulies. And then the DWR created language that allows even lower powered rifles. We have those "applicable tern" people in the DWR, too.
Legally, I could use my 22 Hornet here for deer. No - I wouldn't.
