Hey Brian,

I think a deer can be killed with a .223, but I also would not risk with this caliber. I have a 6.5 Grendel AR in addition :-)
What part of VA are you located in? I am in Fairfax Co.
I am looking for a private land to hunt. Do you know anybody?

Thans you, sir.
Cheers,
Mad

Well, the first comment I got was "what are you gonna shoot with that?" to which I replied with a grin..."anything I %$&# want." In fact, it has prompted another member to promote the "bring your biggest and baddest" weekend, where there will be some weapons along the line of 340 weatherby, 338 federal, ruger 44 mag, and of course the largest caliber in the club, the 450 bushmaster :D now for the original topic, I don't know if it's bigger, but if it isn't, it is certainly gaining steam.

Im in Bedford (between Roanoke and Lynchburg on Rt460 - D-Day Memorial city).. I mainly hunt in the National Forest in Amherst Co (just because my dad and his buddies, and their kids which are my buddies, still hunt there) - but the deer appear to be moving lower and lower these days.. We have tons of deer around my subdivision (ie not many homes yet, but a big farm subdivided), but have a 'no hunting' convenent.. :(

I use the 450 for deer hunting up here in the mtns. An absolutely awesome weapon for snap shots while still hunting. It has surpassed my all time favorite deer hunting rifle, my Encore 209x50 loaded with Hornady 250grn sabots. My 450 is a very easy to handle rifle while still hunting and carries lightly, a superb brush gun and can take the bumps and thumps from hunting.
