I have played music for 20- some-odd years. To me that is a cleaner high than about anything. It was a hobby that became my livelihood. So shooting stuff is the big vice now. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE -RUN WHILE YOU CAN - TAKE UP GOLF ITS CHEAPER...

.223/5.56mm is 100% legal for deer. You can kill deer with it but, I personally wouldn't recommend it. It lacks "knockdown power" and I promise you, that you will wound, mame, and lose animals. I suggest something in the .30 cal range. I assume you are an assault weapons fan, so maybe a scoped SKS/AK or AR10. would be an ideal choice. Good luck!

Golf Ranges are a waste of shooting room.

Sorry for thread jacking.

I myself, being a more inexperienced shooter, would use a bigger caliber.

BUT, .223 is legal.

Ga.arms makes deer stopper ammo in .223 that works better than a soft point hunting bullet .
A serrated hollow point that expandes to almost double its size. It's 45grns and I have been told it's leagal because of expantion by Ga.arms. But you should check to be sure .
I baught it for home defense cause deer stoppers worked so good in my .357.
But screwed up and shot them in a 3 gun match.Now Ga. arms don't come to Augusta gun shows anymore and I hate ordering ammo.
