[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2829205, member: 5412"] Its all about the choice of bullet, and placement. Nothing different than any other caliber. WAY BACK in the day, saw a guy shoot a doe with a .458 Winchester Magnum. Shot was too far back, and he lost her because there was no blood trail. The most successful elephant hunter in history, W.D.M. Bell used a 7x57mm rifle to kill hundreds of elephants as he was an advocate of shot placement over big bore power for killing efficiently. Walter Bell killed 1,011 elephants in the course of his career. In my past, I was in the boat of big caliber for big animals. Not any more after personally doing autopsy's on more deer than I can count and seeing what small caliber high velocity rounds do to innards. All that said above relates to deer sized animals using .22 caliber ammo like the OP was wondering about, like the .223, .22-250, etc. Speed kills. [/QUOTE]
