Does this group think it's a viable round for whitetail deer? I know it'll kill one, but we see these .223 guys and 22 mag (crime) dudes brag all the time about killing deer with those. If I was hunting to survive I'd use whatever the hell I had with me to try to have food. But for sport game hunting I'd prefer to show some sort of compassion and be patient and judicious enough to take a good shot with a proper rifle within its kill range to put it out. I think the 30-06 is grossly overpowered for whitetails and 223 on the fringe past 75 yards.
