I'm sure that I'm the first person to ask this question, but what is the best .223 round to put down deer? I've carried an AR for over 10 years but never to hunt.... I recently traded into a new AR and I want to hunt deer with it this year. From what I can tell 60gr soft point is where I need to look. What I was hoping for was some first hand knowledge of what has worked for others. Thanks in advance guys for any help or insight.

Is a .223 round less humane than an arrow?Why would you want to shoot a deer with a .22 caliber round? You should use a more adequate round capable of taking the animal humanely.
