I dont think you are allowed to shoot Muntys with a .223 over their as yet. The minimum you can use, from what i see is .243. Altough, if the .223 was inroduced as a munty round, it would be pretty good i would imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Yup, Frank has hit the nail on the head. A minimum of .240 is the law. G.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibby Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Go for a .243, perfect round. Good for long range pest control and man enough for all the deer over here should you get the oppertunity to go for something bigger. Have one myself and have used it on a roe, not alot of meat damage and have seen a red taken down on the spot with it. Cheers Gibby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatingisbest Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 i think a .243 is good because you can use them on deer and foxes (multi purpose rifle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
