First deer I killed with a .22CF was in 1967 with a .222 Rem and 50gr Norma factory load. One shot DRT. Have done many since with .222 and .223 with no bad results. Didn't even realize this was a controversial practice until the internet came along. I've got a whole safe full of choices and use them all, but probably .223 half the time. 65 gr SGK is my bullet of choice and I don't worry about drilling shoulders.
