Maybe it's the penny? I'm not sure. I'm using the gimp and checking that it wasn't resized

If it is, then the one on the left is absurdly small; it's hard to tell the scale

not BS at all. why does it say dangerous up to 1.5 MILES on the ammo box?

Yes, it is total BS, and it is clear you don't know what you are talking about.

not at all. obviously, the size of the animal, the distance, etc. all matter

The big one looks like the 50 cal bullets they use for experiments on MythBusters.

The "wildly inaccurate" was regarding the claim that the 223 wasn't a good hunting round.

why do you keep trying to pretend that .22s don't exist? .22s KILL things EASILY. also .17 cal=small

there is supposed to be an element of skill involved in hunting. 50-100 yards, head shot, dead.

no, sport means 'only kill what you eat' -true for a lot of people- or at least give away to eat

You think people should be hunting deer with a .22lr from 50-100 yards and aiming for the head?

no, you are trying to change the subject- the .223 is designed to be fired semi-automatically
