All three were dead within 75 yards. They did not bleed much but they died quickly. Over the past 4 years that rifle has killed 7 deer. The only one that left any type of blood trail was when i had him aim as close to the "arm pit" as possible and the blew the ribs apart and that doe left a red streak 150 yards long and 6" wide. So the .223 will work just need to make a good shot and dont count on a very good blood trail.I have now moved 2 of the 3 to a .243 and they love them.[ATTACH=full]61387[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]61388[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]61389[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]61390[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]61391[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]61392[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]61393[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
