I have an old Remington .223 for my gun. Is this going to be large enough gun?
Can you? Yes.
Should you? Probably not.
In my opinion, you shouldn't be shooting deer with less than a .243 caliber gun.
^^^He's right.^^^
I had crop damage tags for a few years, thought that my 223 would work and save some money on ammo plus be quieter. First deer I shot was a ~90 lb doe, hit her through the heart, no blood trail and she went 150 yards. After that I used my 7mm-08. I agree on the 243 being a minimum.
