    Read Mike Bennetts book tells about a well known West coast hunter shooting 3 big red stags at 500 yards with the triple deuce. Hunter died in last few years in a tragic river crossing in a truck.

    To put it another way. At that energy level it would HAVE to be chest/crease or neck shot.... How many can shoot a rabbit at 500 yards with 222/223 and guarantee a hit? Rabbit being similar size to neck vitals or crease
