222 Barnes TSX on Deer

[L. Cooper]

I am an advocate of quick, clean, humane killing of game animals, and as such I am opposed to using .22 centerfires on animals as large as deer.

You yourself note the fact that even .30-06 levels of power can have problems under real life hunting circumstances. Why would anyone want to take the risks inherent in using such small calibers? What is the point? What does it prove? Preventing wasted meat?? Come on!!

If you can have genuine questions about whether or not a particular caliber is enough for a particular game animal (and you clearly show that you know the questions exist in this case), you need more gun.
