There are 7 states do not allow rifle hunting. There are 43 states that allow rifle hunting.
4 states require at least .23 caliber (KA, MN, VA, WY)
4 states require at least .24 or .243 caliber (CO, CN, IA WA)
35 states allow .22 Centerfires.
Of the 35 that allow .22 Centerfires, 5 have energy restrictions. 2 of these say 1200 ft lbs of Muzzle Energy, 1 says 1000 ft lbs of Muzzle Energy, 1 says 900 ft lbs at 100 yards, and 1 says 1000 ft lbs at 100 yards.

Nope! There's a reason it's not legal in some states, It's not a good big game caliber.

Is the 223 enough for antelope say 300yards or less??

Obviously for anyone who asks the question "is it enough" there must have been some doubt to begin with. Antelope are not terribly difficult to bring down but there are much better choices than a .22 cal. I prefer to use a gun that I will never have to ask "is this enough".
