Today was the opening day for hunting seaon here, me and my friend and his dad went out, my friend armed with a .223 mini-14, me with a Browning 270 and his father with a ruger 7mm rem mag. I went in to the bush on this ridge while they went to the bush line, they saw a gigantic buck (5x5) running into the bush, his dad came back and my friend stayed there, we saw the buck come into the field and i went prone and took a shot aiming about 1 inch high or so, it was standing looking around with itrs chest facing me, i took a shot and hit it through the neck and it went down. It was standing at about 450 yards on a hill. The landowner (my friends dad) said it was the bigest buck hes seen in this area in the last 15 years. 
PICtures to come.

223 are legal in some provinces (any centrefire rifle), illegal in others (greater than .23 cal).
If I read the post correctly, the 450yd shot was made with a .270 not the .223. And from an (sounds like) unhuried prone position with a rest. If you know can make it - go for it..
Good shot man.

My friend and me have both killed many a deer with his .223, The only thing is you have to be under 100 yards if you want a one shot kill, anything over that we either leave alone or if we have a bigger gun wwe pull that out.
