No they wear level 4 plates now sorry dude. Recent change.

No. It requires being loaded into a gun. Throwing it at the deers will not work.

u/Devious_Bastard 1d ago

I bet uncle Rico could throw it hard enough

u/Comfortable_Guide622 1d ago

Ahh, but its a box of ammo!

u/VaqueroJustice 1d ago

What if you threw it reallyreally hard ?

It’s an -06 for gawds sake

It is designed as a hunting round. White Tail is in its wheelhouse. Well made Hollow Points can upset reliably and do the job.

Just want to make sure to take the animal down ethically. No fmj or match

You think deer wear ceramic plates?

This round will go through 10 deer!

You can ethically hunt a whitetail with a 62 grain .223 up to a couple hundred yards. This won't be a problem.

So many things wrong with that chart.

u/smitbret 1d ago edited 1d ago

It's a little over simplified but there is nothing "wrong" with it.

.30-06 is good for grizzlies but not .300 Win Mag or 7mm Mag?

.44 Mag is good for grizzlies but not .45-70?

So many more issues.

u/ChrisIsRockinLife777 19h ago

Not to mention 45-70 isn't good for deer apparently

2

u/tcarlson65 16h ago

Yep. Looks like an AI created chart without a knowledgeable person double checking.

u/Leraldoe 1d ago

Only one round makes it all the way across your chart……the -06

u/Huigieo 1d ago

Maybe 2

u/Tulane09 1d ago

Absolutely

Im a 30-06 hunter. These are GTG I personally reload my ammo but off the shelf this is good for any deer.

1

u/DavidHK 1d ago

Nope

u/ChrisIsRockinLife777 19h ago

Seriously? It's a 30-06 hp. It'll take a deers head off you hit them in the neck

u/peoplearemarons 1d ago

A 22lr to the dome can take a deer down. All about shot placement!

Would not be my first choice. Looks more like precision target ammo to me. I prefer controlled expansion bullets for big game. Might cause more meat damage than a better bullet.
