Give the poor twit a break. The .223 was specifically designed for accuracy. I believe it was intended as a deer hunting mod of the .220 Swift. I've been out of this loop for several decades, but that's how I remember it.

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.
