I know those old 40 grain FMJs work real well right out to 200 yds...with my old Marlin 25MN, I have dispatched several deer over the last 30 years I've had it, with head shots out to 200 yds...

used it as a truck gun for years...the deer were dispatched after being hit by cars in my zillons of miles of traveling the country...in the same truck with 530K on it now..

sure the deer were stationary and they were heat shot with a good rest off the hood of the old 4 Runner...

but a 40 grain FMJ out of a 22 Mag, between the eyes dropped them like a ton of bricks...
