[QUOTE="SERE Guy, post: 779778, member: 3009"] Some states mandate 6mm (.243) as the minumum caliber for deer, I tend to agree with that. At 100-150yds, a 60+ grain bullet would be fine...if it was designed specifically for penetration, not fragmentation. But the temptation of that buck at 250 yards and the fact that just about every factory round is for maximum fragmentation on varmint, that's a recipe for disaster. "Fastest .22 on planet Earth" Be careful with that. 4,000+fps is hard on barrels. .220 Swift and the .22/06 wildcat suffer from substantial chamber erosion in as little at 1000-1200 rds. I shot out a .243 barrel in one month shooting prairie dogs with 55gr handloads. [/QUOTE]
