Savage99,

Somebody recently posted on the Campfire that you're the second coming of Swampman700. After this post I suspect you might be even 1) dumber, or 2) more of a troll.

How can you come to THAT conclusion from my statement? It's completely of context, and has absolutely NOTHING to do with whether .25 caliber cartridges are adequate for deer.

In my experience .25's are fine deer rounds since (as I probably posted before on this thread) my wife and I have killed dozens of deer (and pronghorns) with various .25's (though mostly the .257 Roberts), including some big bucks, both whitetail and mule deer. Never a problem with any of the animals, with any bullet--EXCEPT a couple TSX's that didn't expand.

To paraphrase my friend Phil Shoemaker, anybody who insists .25 caliber rifles aren't plenty for deer is unknowingly commenting on his own marksmanship.
