TCU caliber? 223 Bolt rifle conversion too??

+1 on the Grendel. I was never a very confident shooter until I put the Grendel upper on my AR. It's what the AR should have been to start with(imho). I shoot a hand loaded 123 SST for hogs, and it's deadly. I have shot yotes out to 300yds, and I'm an older "shakier" guy shooting off the top of a fence post

OK... thanks for the input. I hear you!
Not sure why I added the 400 yards part. I was not thinking clearly late last night ... I have a 280AI and a 7 SAUM in the works for long range action and have no issues taking deer from 300 to 400 with that/those rifles in my field stand.

So back to the TCU and hunting in the woods and short ranges. 100 yards or less.
I want an accurate round that will drop deer at 100 yards or less that is 223 based and not kick like a 280AI or 7 SAUM.

What TCU caliber should I get or what other cartridge should I get, 223 bolt based, that will be the most accurate at 100 yards and drop a deer?

thanks haeffnkr
