They don't now, why would that be necessary if the law was changed from 243 to 223 being the minimum legal caliber? I'd be fine with that change, but only for deer. It's a great caliber for kids, whether it's a 223 Remington, 22/250, 224 Weatherby, or 223 WSSM.
I have a 223 WSSM that would be perfect for my kids to hunt deer with. I've used it in Wyoming on both deer and antelope. A 65 grain bullet at 3,400 feet per second works very well.

A 165 grain .223 bullet?

No, a 65 grain bullet. Kills deer and antelope just fine.

So, do you have any minimum caliber? Any minimum muzzle energy?
I'm sure you could kill a deer with a .17 HMR, but that doesn't make it a good idea to try.
I'm not trying to be really argumentative, but a 243 just seems like a reasonable minimum to me (I know other guys who think a 243 is too small, so the question could go the other way as well.)

The 24's are giant killers.... I'd be happy with '224 minimum caliber, but that's me... btw,"knock down" power don't mean squat....

:yeah: most good hunter know when to shot and not too,but in other hand I can take my 9mm handgun with 4in. barrel and try to kill a deer but 223 is a no go doesn't seem right

I am good either way. If it's just to use a AR style rifle I have been rocking a 6x45 for many years now and had several recoil sensitive people use it on deer in the past with great results. I also now have a 25x45 sharps. I like the Wyoming regs and the way they are if things did get changed. I would have no problem packing a 22-250 and 60 grain pill for deer sized game.
