“.223 rounds are effective but not that effective. It is illegal to hunt deer in many states with a .223 because it often wounds but does not kill.”

A head shot with a .223 at that range would be fatal.

“It is illegal to hunt deer in many states with a .223 because it often wounds but does not kill.” .... Those laws were written for .22lr, but written as “.22 caliber”, thus covering .223, .22/250, .220 swift, .224 Weatherby, etc, all of which will kill a deer with proper shot placement.
