Over the years I suppose 60 plus deer size critters have been taken with the .22's from the .22LR, Hornet right up though the .22 Cheetah..most were taken with my old adl .22-250 and 55 grain Serria HPBT's..I would guess all were killed under 225 yards..the other favorite was the Serria 63 grain and WW64 grain..One was with a factory loaded 46 grain open point in .220 Swift..the doe was shot at about 125 yards and she ran maybe 30 yards and fell..While they worked ok, I have never been completely comfortable using them on big game..May try one on my antelope this fall..
