petey,
I've taken probably over 100 with the 223, most were taken with a 64 gr PMC or 64 gr win. powerpoint. stay just behind the shoulder double lung them and the result is a 60-70 yard sprint to a pileup. Just don't expext much of a bloodtrail till they start blowing the crimson froth from the nose and mouth. The last several years on our small deer I just use a standard ultramax reman 55 gr soft point. results mirror the partitions and powerpoints if the hit in the right place. I've said for years and gotten rideculed here and on other forums, but "its not the best choice but it is adequate" RR edited for: Petey, for fast twist 223's for deer hunting dead coyote makes a 70 gr bullet that is the same length as a 55 gr normal bullet and works well in 12 twist barrels.

RR,
I thought the Dead Coyote bullets sounded intriguing so I looked them up. I only found mention of them in the 2007 time frame and nothing after that time, no load data and no bullets for sale. Now the only thing listed by them is heavy shot, shot shells and choke tubes. I guess they are supposed to be made of heavy shot material. Do you know where they may be purchased? It seems like they would be the ticket for a Mini-14, unless they are like shooting a nail.  Best, Ed
