federal sharp shooters use 556,223 rem. for most of the deer they shoot at night and Federal sharp shooters kill plenty deer.
Odds are pretty good that somewhere among the posters is in fact a federal contractor who does wildlife conflict management. I’ve yet to ever see his advice not be solid. I know of another contractor who prefers the 22 hornet suppressed and head shots but his shots are rarely over 75 yds and taken at night with NV’s on crowded airports and the like. Both have a set budget and shoot what they want given the target and area etc.
