Don't stop there. I'd like to see some more.

I figure that if a steel can can be penetrated thru and thru then anything (including a deer skull) that you would shoot with a 22 is going to be penetrated.

One thing that you could modify is angle the steel can...most of the time a deer, especially on a frontal shot is not going to give one a "square" shot unless it is from above......

I know that Digital Dan has taken a lot of hogs with .22 Short...but he always waits till the pigs head is down feeding so the bullet strikes as close to 90* as possible....

dropped many deer in the apple orchard with a 22 LR, I used nothing but 40gr round nose standard velocity ammo

I don't have a problem with your test media, it was the ammo selection that I was hoping might be broadened.

I'm sorry, but a little text would greatly expand one explanatory powers here.

ok...
lets see. what isnt in the pictures...
65 degrees.
45 yards
greenbeans.

On the farm thats all we used for butchering beef and pork with most shot at 6' or less and took 1 hit to drop them. We did have a huge bull that took 3 direct hits all hit the same on the skull,the third busted through and dropped him. He was about a ton beef.
