i freakin love 223. the round never ceases to amaze me when i do my part. it is the best all around small game caliber in my opinion. and no...punxsatawney phil is about 200 miles to my west. a little out of range of my beloved 223. haha!
Looks about right, I shot a doe in the neck with one of those factory loaded rounds from a 20" AR @ ~10yd. Exit wound was quite similar, about the only thing keeping her head on was the hide on the input side.
I have been using some 69 gr HPBTs the gun likes; Very accurate but not at all spectacular. Guess I'll switch to more explosive bullets, mostly to eliminate ricochets, but that exit wound is tantalizing.
