I have a Contender with a 14 inch 223 barrel with a scope is it a good calaber for deer or should I use one of my other barrels ? I also have a 44 super 14 barrel and a 45 long colt thats 10 inch.
Im not sure about the barrel length its an h&r 223 ninety yard shot behind the shoulder demolished heart and lungs quarter size exit wound.
I thought about taking the scope off of the 223 and putting it on the 44 . The 223 maybe good enough but I'm just not comfortable with it cause theres just no room for error with that small a bullet . My thoughts have always been ( more lead more dead ) so I think with more practice with it may win me over .
the 223 will do the job all day .
I'm not sure why my daddy even had the 223 . but when he past away the contender was given to me .He had 3 barrels with it 44 super14 ,223 super 14 and 45 longcolt -410 thats 10 inch . And I've never used a 223 before so I have know idea what ammo is available for it .
