A can and paperwork is going to run me just over $1K and even then if using subsonics I probably wont get the best stabilization from my 1-12" bbl, which means buying a different rifle to can up.
regardless, I would only going to take head/ neck shots even with a centerfire because I cant afford to have a deer run out into the road and into a car or through a neighbors sliding glass door.
Amazing that using a LEGAL cartrige, on MY land in a 100% LEGAL manner brings the slander from some here.
Do you guys really think that a 22LR in the head at 40 yards is less lethal than than a 223 at 200 in the body?


No. I think they're about the same which is the problem in a nutshell.
