I don't know about your state's legality on the particular gun but are your deer that small that a .223 will knock them down? You'd have to place your shot perfectly so you don't wound the critter.

If the 223 will knock a human down, it will knock a deer down.

The Smallest cartridge you can hunt deer with in Michigan is a .243

Wow, that is great. Now, should I call the DNR to see if there's a magazine capacity restriction?

RobbieB, I just got done asking the Michigan DNR the same question. They informed me that any center fire cartridge is acceptable regardless of caliber. The key word is center fire, of course you have to be in the rifle zone. If you don't believe me, ask for yourself.

There is a magazine restriction - 5 rounds in Mag and 1 in barrel. If you will be hunting with an AR please use good ammo and pick your shot carefully. I assume you will be hunting in the rifle zone? |

You can also "plug" your 30 rounders to only accept 5 rnds. I did this just recently to 4 of my 30's, so they would be legal for varmints and small game. I searched and what i found said that as long as the mag has to be "disassembled" for the plug to be removed it would be ok.

We use the Partition bullet with Varget. Good accuracy and a decent hole.
The AR with a modern military scope (Trijcon or Holo) is perfect for woods shots. |
