2 of the Oregon 6 are at large. Could someone be p.o.ed about their little terrorist cell being busted?

"This is a really accurate bullet, isn't it?"

Sure Honey, it's a "boat-tail" which means it can be used underwater too...

I don't think it was developed for deer hunting, I believe it was developed for the U.S. Army just before the Vietnam War. The .223 is a very poor hunting cartridge. For deer hunting a .243 caliber is usually the minimum recommended, but .223 can get the job done depending on the gun used, shooter's skill, and size of the animal.

Well, my Daddy did teach me that in order to shoot a bullet, it has to be in a gun. Then the gun has to be aimed and fired. Daddy also said that a gun's only as good as the person aiming the gun, so unless that bullet can shoot all by itself, sans gun and sans shooter, Kyra was holding one helluva bullet.

As I say, I'm out of the loop on this. I recall a .223 from the 60s.

You have to admit that ammunition is designed for different purposes, and some is designed for long range accuracy. This is a trivial subject.

The Oregon terror cell arrests started this morning around 6 a.m. The first shooting occurred around 5:20 p.m. on Wednesday. I don't know if they had foreknowledge of the arrests. At one of the press conferences today, one of the authorities said around 100 law enforcement were used in the Oregon arrests, so it wasn't a matter of them just turning themselves in.

Ol' Kyra was none too bright when she worked for one of our local (Green Bay) TV stations...but I'd like to see one of them boat-tail bullets. Do they have a little rudder on them to keep them running straight or sumthin'?

Except for the Ar-15's, most people who have .223 bolt action rifles are either "plinkers" or varminters (coyote, oppossum, etc) or targeting on an outdoor range. Ruger Mini 14's favored by ranchers because they come in carbine length, are inexpensive, and ammo is relatively cheap and effective.
