    Back on track, a .22 caliber bullet (where legal), assuming adequate construction/weight and placement, can indeed kill deer/antelope-sized game. To assume the same for larger game, absent relevant criteria is uninformed at best

    I read through the Rokslide link Red put up, might have to rethink a little on the .223.
    One poster just put up pics of 4 cow elk he shot with 77TMK’s all look pretty darn dead!

    A lot of hunters in Alaska use a AR for Caribou and even moose. The most common load is the 62gr and 70gr TSX. Shot placement is the key and precise shot taken most under 100 yards. Moose a high neck shot will collapse the moose quickly. The 77MK is great defense load but no way I would use it on game. A cool precisely placed shot is a must with the 5.56.

    Go spend some time on the 68 forum. Lots of animals down with that cartridge.

    Yes 220 swift and head shots on seals so they dont make it back to water.
    But the swift has a short throat life due to that 4000 fps velocity.
