Why .22’s for deer over other calibers?


Because with the right bullets there are fewer a rodeos with .22’s than with any other caliber this side of 5-600.


People miss less, they wound less, and when either one of those happen, because they can watch the hit through the scope the follow up and corrections are way faster and more accurate.


There is nothing “marginal” about what a 77gr TMK or 75+he ELD-M does in an animal. They do too much damage as a matter of fact, and I have started to use bullets that destroy less meat on steaks. That means that they run a bit, and the damage is less dramatic of course, but a 77gr TMK inserted in a bone pretty much destroys that quarter. Bucks still get the good stuff however.
