Never was a question in my mind... If I was going to use a 22 caliber for deer, the answer was the 70 grain Speer....

Worked the first time and every other time after that I've ever used it...

Even with the Barnes X bullets, I tried that ONE time.. and it performed exactly like the Speer 70 SMP...

If I didn't have access to the Speer any time, the next bullet I'd use was the Sierra SMP 63 grain...

in a world with all these "wonderful new bullets"... I will still be using the Speer and Sierra SMP in 70 and 63 grain.

Because those two bullets have been doing it longer than ANY of these newer bullets...

as for placement.. put it where its suppose to go....either will do there job reliably....

if one doesn't know where that is... maybe you might brush up on deer anatomy a little....
