Here is a question for the group, ever had a bullet hit a 1 inch or so diameter sapling you did not see in your scope before it hit the deer? I have wondered and don't know the answer for a 22 caliber 75AMAX or 77TMK. I have killed deer and pigs with the 62 TSX and the 75 grain Swift scirrocco and the 223 gun. The deer I killed this year was walking at 80 or so yards and the .308/150 cup and core bullet center punched a small sapling before entering his neck. I don't know if the 75AMAX or 77TMK would have made that journey thru the sapling and the neck? Thoughts?
I sure wouldn't expect the 308/150 to do it either really for sure, I run 185s or better when I shoot 308 or a 168 mono.
But I pass on deer shots all the time. Its really easy too. If the shot isn't something I am 200% sure of, they walk.
I've seen the 223 shoot through a NUMBER of pigs before stopping with the 77 smks... IIRC it was stopped in the 5th one best we could tell.
