I was reading an article about shooting a deer with a .223,, and how many say do not do it,,

Well the old 44 caliber rifles with WAY less energy than the .223 killed thousands of deer, powered by black powder.

The old 44 lever actions did not have the energy at the muzzle that the .223 had at 100 yards, and beyond,,
but, still lots of people argue against the .223,,,

The 629 with the 240 grain bullet,, and plenty of Unique will be just fine,,,

Personally,, I keep a couple boxes of factory ammo for hunting,, and plink ALL of my reloads.

I can not envision over 100 kills in the rest of my hunting time,, so I am good,,, I got WAY more factory 240 grain ammo than that,,

I will plink all of the 10 pounds or so of the Unique that I currently own,,
hopefully some of that powder will be used with bullets that I cast,, and powder coat,,,
