I think I would prefer the guys who don't know what they're doing use 223's, better chance of the animal surviving a bad shot rather die a slow death.

The point is, a lot of people believe big guns make up for bad shots, like lots. Another thing is a lot of people under estimate just how lethal firearms are, like lots.

As I said earlier in this thread, a 223 wouldn't be my choice in a big game rifle however I know they are quite capable of killing big game animals.

Your analogy of lowering the bow poundage first to 30 and now to 25 is absurd and doesn't help your argument. Save that one for archery discussion.
