Firearm season for deer hunters is closing in, which brings me to my question....
Why do they only allow .30 caliber and above?
I understand the whole stray bullet idea, but I know a .223 round is is going to travel less distance and with less power than say a 30-06 or .308. And of course, the 300 Winchester Mag . Which, a 180 grain bullet has a point blank range of around 300 yards. That means the bullet doesn't start to drop until around 300 yards. The .223, 55 grain bullet starts dropping almost immediately and at 300 yards is several inches. My 2 cents is anyone who gets ahunting license should be required to take a hunters safety course. I don't believe regulating hunting calibers is the answer.
