I agree with Swamp...It ain't the killing, it's the finding...

In my younger days, when I had long hair...(70s)...I used a 22-250 with the only bullets I had, the Remington 55gr varmit loads...I killed about 25 deer with it over 3-4 summers that were eating our peanuts during August...

When I shot them in the lungs, they ended up 75-150 yards away from the hit...If shot where the neck and shoulder meet, they dropped...

Blood trails were very sparse, tracking was done by looking for other sign...

When I moved up to a .243 in 1980, I discovered what a REAL deer caliber would do.....

Dang, did I just open another can???
