i have been killin deer with a 223,22-250,220 swift, since the 1970s back in the 50s-80s my dad killed a bunch with a 22 hornet. this was all back before the armchair gun writers said it was a sin to use a 22 cal. for years my bullet was a speer semi point 70gr. it worked well. then at the end of the 70s i found out Hornady's 60gr. flat base HP had a thick jacket and they had engineered it for deer! so i started using them, and i ain't looked back. but being an experimenter i am always looking, in the 90s midway had a sale on Winchesters 64gr. PP-SP, i bought a couple of thousand or so. these bullets have a thick jacked and mushroom in deer like a picture! i still have a mess of them. they do not group like the tack driving Hornady 60gr. but they are plenty good enough. you probably won't find them anymore.

I have never harvested a animal but I have killed quite a few,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
