there is mor going on then just haveing energy.
impact velocitie has alot to do with killing its like dropping a small rock in the watter. the riple exstends all the way across the pond. upon bullet impact everything is effected and blood actualy flows backwords in the veins way from the impact point and may be the reason that faster exspanding higher velocities calibers seem to kill dead right there.
i will continue to kill game with the 220 and 53gr triple shocks. my kids will be shooting 22centerfires long before there old enough to hunt deer. they will be placeing shots. well be shooting paper deer targets and they may use the 220 to take there first deer. if they cant place there shot in vitals they wont be shooting and deer.
if they cant hit vitals with 22centerfire at 100-150 im not going to give them a bigger gun to go hunt deer. that just does not make sence. and at that range the 22/250 220 will do just as good as a 243 6mm will.
any caliber could bring very bad results when handed to knew or uncarreing hunter that cant hit anything past 20yds. ive seen guys that hunt with 338s and i know for fact im 100% more deadly with my 220 then them. a bigger cal does not mean anything. all it means is they contunie to shoot bad and will never almost never have wll placed shot untill they learn to shoot.
i also feel that you should not knock 22cals untill youver tried them. you certianly have not if your knockn them on texas deer. the texas trophy hunter is the 22swift improved.
on side not 22s are not for everyone. but on deer sized game if everyone could place a well placed shot and keep distances inside 200 we would see a rage to the big 22s. but 90% of hunters are exsperinced or have practiced enough to do that. so we will keep shooting and wounding game with bigger calibers and knockn the 22s. that could 90% get the job done with better placed shot than what the flinching hunter pulled off with bigger caliber
