I myself love vintage rifles and surplus beaters. When you shoot the average irons on some of them a 200 yard shot offhand can be a difficult one.
I am unimpressed with cartridge laws; my feeling is that just because some pinhead is shooting an 'acceptable' calibre - it doesn't mean he will be responsible with it. I have seen far too many self proclaimed experts trying shots on game they shouldn't have. How far is too far? 300? 400? 500?
I would LOVE to hunt with a handgun, or a .223 with a well made bullet. I can live with the limitations and if my cartridge costs me an animal because they are too far away to shoot at - that means better chances for you guys and I can live with that.
There are only two reasons to be out there and that is for meat and for fun - and those are the criteria to base your rifle choice on.

That's funny and a good point. I'm the largest proponent of legalizing the .223. But for me the .223 with a good bullet has something positive to give in return. Virtually no recoil at pennies a shot. I'm also not so sure that it's much of a slouch at 4 and 500 yds.
