[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 1787580, member: 3455"] Bullet construction indeed determines its intended use. Cartridge case capacity and caliber determines its intended use. You can modify cartridge performance by changing the bullet, but it doesn't change the original intended use of the cartridge. Yes, you can shoot prairie dogs with 50 BMG - all it proves is that you [i]can[/i] put four people in your truck: it just doesn't make it a sedan. So, if I can sling-shot a TSX of any caliber at deer's shoulder - I should expect a dead deer, right? As far as military use - show me a doctrine where 22 cal is used in one-shot-one-kill application and you might have a case, but as far as I know it's not. 5.56 was designed with one purpose in mind - assault rifle. No "go" button, and you are back at its roots - 222: a very well designed varmint/target round. Please, understand, that I don't condone in any form use of 223 on deer - I think it's fine, I myself have a 223 deer rifle. All I said, that for the first hunt I'd bring something bigger - more reach, more punch, etc - first time seems to be full of surprises. [/QUOTE]
