...223...5.56 bullets don't have the length and weight necessary to provide the sectional density needed for deep penetration...a 105 grain bullet would be necessary to provide the minimum .300 sectional density of a dangerous game round...and would require a really tight twist to stabilize it...

...a 200 grain bullet is necessary to achieve the same sectional density in a 308...much easier to do...
