There is ample evidence on this site for the right bullet in the right place.
I was skeptical for a long time regarding the distances guys were turning in kills with a mild 6. But there it is. The larger cartridge killing power thing is deeply ingrained in hunting lit and our heads. The endless cartridge blather on the net seldom touches on how well a guy can shoot--as if shooting well is somehow a constant.
But the bottom line is the right bullet for the circumstances and placement in critter. As you said, some people will have trouble killing deer regardless.
Personally, hunting where I do, am curious about the higher BC bullets in the 22 caliber, hit signatures, cut hair and blood evidence compared to larger diameter bullets you have used in the past. Would appreciate hearing about it.
Have plans...:)
