Its been a couple months since a little bores for big deer thread... Is using a .22 centerfire on deer ethical? or even legal in most places???? I just learned on a cull hunt in Texas that they will kill Oryx.....but the oryx isn't as tough as a tiny bambi deer is it? I haven't read the article so I'm ignorant and used my "big" gun...the .243 on other stuff in Texas.

Until I had kids I only thought I knew what was the right cartridge for deer. We started with the 223 in TBBC and used the Remington Managed recoil loads in 270, 308, and 260 and it's not speed that kills. It's the bullet in the right place and these loads shoot the right bullet at the right speed

Is this article available on line I did a search and couldn't find a link
I have used the 222 and 22/250 on medium sized critters way more than most people will ever do and a 243 and up is just so much more emphatic, and stepping up to the 270 class is a generation ahead again. Anyone who tells you different hasn't done a lot of killing.

You might have to define 'a lot'......
I haven't seen the larger cartridges be any more emphatic on medium sized game.
Course...I'm new at this.....

In 2007 I went on a cull hunt in South Africa where one of the professional hunters, Rob Klemp, had a Sako .22-250 that at that point had taken over 12,000 animals--mostly springbok, but some others as well. It was on its 4th barrel, and one day my hunting partner and I were allowed to add to its total. Again, mostly the animals were springbok, but one was a medium-dized kudu bull my partner killed with a heart-shot.
Rob still uses the same Sako, but I believe it's on its 6th barrel now, with a few thousand more animals taken. Is that a lot?

I think that qualifies. My fave .223 is only on its third barrel, so Im still learning.... Pats ( Scenarshooter) .220 Swift is on its 9th barrel IIRC so I think its done ' a lot'.... I only have a sample of a couple hundred....

Pal in KS kills those big Bucks with ancient 722 222 Rem and 45 gr Barnes. Lungs shots, 100% penetration, usually die within sight. (no long shots)

Get a big black texta and write all over it then dump the lot in the nearest river, be sure to snap a few pictures and post them for the rest of us to marvel over. Added...make certain to show any rust to shew just how badly you have treated it. You are welcome.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Then a select few people would revere my posts, even though I denigrate them at every turn!

But think of the fun when you repeat it and continually hook the same catch.
