223 is widely used for deer takedowns

not in my state lol

hmm

sucks

223 is used for rabbits and squirrels

it's humane as long as you're using the right projectile

and opossums

223 will explode rabbits

have yet to see it explode rabbits lol

i shot one in the head a long time ago and it tried to run off on me

shoot one with a military pressure soft nose

you get rabbit pieces out the back

i just use ball on varmints

m855 and m193 would probably not start tumbling despite the hydrostatic shock because of the size of rabbits

no need wasting money on better ammo

and they aren't gonna expand unless the wabbits are big

the soft nose 223's aren't too expensive

I seem to remember winchester had hot stuff

i dont even own a .223 anymore

i got my .308 ar and 3 pistols

2 .40's and a .45

I like 40S&W

but I don't like reloading for it

too many combat/duty pistols have wide chambers at the back for feeding

theyre ok. still like my springfield xds better tho

and in hotter loads it starts expanding the base

yeah i dont reload my ammo

so if you want it back to spec you need to run it through a full body die

I handload everything now

i dont feel like going thru all that and buying the press and everything

338 lap, 458 socom, 300 blackout, 7.62x51, 5.56, 9x19, 40s&w, 45acp, 357mag

i'll just go to walmart and pick up a bunch of boxes

or Meijer

Only thing I don't handload is 7.62x39

im lazy lol

I like doing it

I get super nice 9x19

stuff way above anything I can buy off the shelf

and I can tune the loads to particular guns

It's especially useful in 40S&W

180gr's traveling at around 750 fps have the recoil impulse of a .22lr in my FNP40
