I am one of the few naysayers you'll find on the 70 gr Speer. Back in the day before premium bullets for .22s I gave them a try on three deer. Was very disappointed with the results and never went back. Others, including a good friend, did a lot more killing with them, and swore by them


Myself Tom...I've has some dramatic kills with them...With H 380, I was running them at about 2900 fps...

Saw a few critters killed w those when I was a young feller. When we were about 10 my bud killed his first deer with them from a 222.

Seen them used in 222, 223 and 22-250. They worked, nothing special just dead deer.

The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
