Joe, swift is right, .222 is not quite up to 300 yards, it will kill one if the hit is in the right place, but finding him might be a problem. A fast twist .223 shooting 75 grain bullets is minimum imo, and the 22-250 even better. Just got a .223 wssm, with a 1 in 10 twist barrel that shoots the hornady 75 grain HPBT match at around 3100 fps, and can`t wait to shoot one with it. If hide is no concern, then a .243 would`nt be a bad choice either.
