Been there, done that ..... DON'T RECOMMEND IT!
I killed tow Utah mule deer with the .223, and do not recommend the practice!
Why did I do it? It was the only riofle I had that season.
I agree that the .243's/6mm's ought to be the minimum legaL caliber for hunting any deer.
Shot placement may be key, but an appropriate amount of kinetic energy and guarenteed bullet upset can help A LOT if the bullet is a little off!
Nearly every hunter/shooter I know isn't a good enough shot to prevent cripples with a .223-class round. Myself included.
