Well, it's not legal in Colorado. That should tell you that not everybody thinks it's a good caliber for big game.
Myself included.
Actually 4 me, it tells me something a tad bit different. To me it shows me that they have lil or non experience in the taking of game with the big .22's.
Tons of people have shot a chuck that was facing them and the chuck came pretty well unwound. Imagine that going off in the lungs of a critter. You wreck the lungs and what are they gonna do..........?
