Great report Kid and scarily, I understood every word you wrote!

Twenty or more, (lost count) surgeries  on my hip, face, abdomen and back over the last three years and you tend to learn a bit about human anatomy and the medical terms associated with trauma.

I've shot enough .223 to respect the fact that it does what it was designed to do.  I do hope this guy can get back to normal but I know from experience that the pain has only just begun.

All I will add to that is the standard +1.

After seeing that I'm more impressed with the .223, (I'd still stick with trick ammo, I'm not in the service any more so I'm not limited to FMJ.) I wondered about the bandage on the guys foot though.

I believe it, I have shot a lot of game with a .223, including my biggest whitetail buck, 250lbs and netted 151" Boone and Crockett. Shot in the neck at 80 yards with a 55grn, barnes X, the bullet did not exit, when cleaning and I was skinning the neck, the meat was nothing but purple jelly in a 10" radius. I do not hunt large game with this cartridge as a rule, but my wife brought her rifle, forgot her ammo, so I loaned her mine, and I took the .223 in hopes of getting a turkey, then this big boy showed up, decisions, decisions  ;)  The barnes bullets are high, but the results are near perfect.

Here's a quick (53 sec.) ballistic gel test with a Bushmaster AR-15 M4, and the .223... with Federal HP's.

Love that "leetl" bullet... ::)

Great stuff Kid. To me it looked as though a larger round was used and not a .223.  ???  I can't be right all of the time so I stand corrected and humbled.  ;) Glad I still own a rifle that can inflict that type of damage if need be.

I got the impression it was the cop with the rifle who was drinking but it was not very clear.
