    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    Yeah, thats true. Guess anyone building a Poachers Special better do a rattle can camo job , with extra coats on the barrel. Or, alternatively, just use a cartridge that's legal 🤷‍♂️

    I would never recommend poaching either, but I bet necked down brass that's headstamped 6mm creed would get you past anyone who did check

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    On another note, I'm assuming that 270 ren just becomes a straight wall when you fire it? Interesting looking cartridge.

    Looks like a nice cartridge if you want to hunt within bow range. Max load I could find with a 90 grain Sierra is 1888 mv.

    Great thread! Something I have always found humorous is that even many Fudds who use 338 super mags will tell you to buy a .243, 25-06 etc. for a young hunter, but "once they get old enough they can buy a big gun". Always seemed to me that if a .243 is adequate for a 10 yo, it should work even...

    I was looking at those the other day, I'd like to get a 223 set up for my wife and she needs a compact lefty. Good to hear it'll stabilize 73s, I was wondering about that. Does it actually feel like a compact rifle with the spacer taken out, or just a full size gun with a short stock? I would...

    Another deer down with the 223/77 tmk this morning. 278 yards, impact velocity around 2125. Slightly quartering away with his offside leg back. It made about a 1" hole thru his ribcage going in, blew theu the heart, and then around an inch and a half on the way out. Shattered his offside leg...
