It's pretty typical "small and fast" results.
They work, but rarely exit.

I am not sure on the grain but it was with a AR with a scope, bullets were soft tipped (hunting rounds). Did have an exit wound and good amount of blood.
This round had a better exit wound then the 45-70 ballistic tip I used this past year. Barely any exit wound
this was the round being used for deer hunting:

The owner of my LGS has let is son hunt with his AR for the last two seasons. his son has shoot at 5 deer and recovered all 5 of them. As long as you use good quality ammo (NO FMJ) and place the shot in the right spot a 223 will kill a deer. Also, the furthest shot his son made on a deer with the 223 was under 150yds.
The shot placement really matters more than caliber IMHO.
An AR with an adjustable stock is a great rifle for a youth because they are low recoil and the rifle can be adjusted to fit a young hunter.
