Far from the perfect cartridges. Will they work? absolutely.
100 yds shots are probably the average for whitetail hunting ,so any high powered cartridge works in that situation.
A screw driver is one of the most efficient tools for a screw, is there anything better ? you bet, a cordless drill. LOL.
same thing here. Are there better cartridges ? you bet ! A lot better choices out there.
I have freezer full of meat and some on the stove as we speak.3 shots this year and 3 dead deer. The weapons I used were a stick and string and a .22 hornet, which took a 160lb 11 pointer. Doesnt take much if you do your part. I like getting up close and personal when I hunt. It's all I need where I hunt.
