tedicast Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Not legal here in Connecticut. Minimum caliber where a rifle is legal is .243/6mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lilcrackshot Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Re: .223 With good shots yes but I would reccomend something a little bigger like the 243. It has mild recoil and muzzle blast but can get the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Re: .223 Is the 223 Rem big enough to kill a deer? Yes it is. that does not make it a good choice though. Is it big enough for deer hunting? That depends on the state. Many states mandate .23 caliber or larger for deer. While some states do allow it, I don't recommend it.

wtnhunt Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Re: .223 Not legal in Tennessee. .24 caliber or larger here. Would not use one for deer here even if it was. Too small for a deer caliber in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Re: .223 Legal here in Arkansas, but not recomended. However, if it was the only thing I had, I would use it with very limited shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
