You need a 1 in 9 twist to stabilize those heavy .223 bullets.

Chief: you may have gone too far the other way. Those light fast hollow point are designed to blow up prairie dogs. I saw a very small deer (40 pounds) shot with a similar load and it blew up about an inch into the shoulder creating a nasty, painful, but not immediately lethal wound.

The buckshot is appropriate medicine, especially if you can get into a 15 yard range to the critter. Beyond that a 12 gauge slug is better and still safer in an urban setting than a .223

There is no nasty old dog alive that can take a Brenneke slug in the boiler room and live more than a few seconds.

There is something about drilling a 3/4 inch hole through a critter that makes it wanna just stop.

I've dropped vehicle injured moose in their tracks with those slugs. They work.
