petey,
I've taken probably over 100 with the 223, most were taken with a 64 gr PMC or 64 gr win. powerpoint. stay just behind the shoulder double lung them and the result is a 60-70 yard sprint to a pileup. Just don't expext much of a bloodtrail till they start blowing the crimson froth from the nose and mouth.
The last several years on our small deer I just use a standard ultramax reman 55 gr soft point. results mirror the partitions and powerpoints if the hit in the right place. I've said for years and gotten rideculed here and on other forums, but "its not the best choice but it is adequate"

edited for: Petey, for fast twist 223's for deer hunting dead coyote makes a 70 gr bullet that is the same length as a 55 gr normal bullet and works well in 12 twist barrels.
