don't do much hunting myself but what little reading i've done suggest a .223 is more suitable for varmit hunting coyotas and such you could probably take a deer with one but slug weight is a little light 7.62 x 39 is your SKS/AK47 round while a little heaver they are not known for there accurrcey if you were looking for a all round gun i would look at a .308 a little smaller then a 30-06 but packs plenty of punch i believe you should be able to take a elk down with one maybe even a moose though i'm not sure about that well that this non hunter point of view......anyone else ?
