So I would love to hear real world experience using a 22 centerfire rifle for deer. The good and the bad. If you have successes, it would be nice to know distance shot,bullet used, and how far the deer ran.
If Scenar's pics are not enough, here is my experience.
45gr TSX, 1:14, 22-250
53gr TSX, 1:14, 22-250
64gr Sierra, 1:9, 222
I do not have detailed notes, but close to 4 dozen deer/antelope with no issues
Have only recovered the 64gr Sierra out of the 222.
I got my 22-250 back from getting a new 1:8 barrel to replace the 1:14 that was shot out. Plan on trying 62gr TTSX, if they do not pan out, I will go right back to the 53gr TSX.
