    I use a vixen 222 quite a lot and the beauty of the caliber is it’s accuracy, most of my hunting is bush or clearings near cover so I don’t shoulder shoot but go for head and neck shots which sack the deer on the spot, yes those shots from Willy flattened those deer through the shoulder but I would still personally make use of the accuracy and neck shoot them because sooner or later you will hit one through the bread basket and it will run for a bit not leaving much of a blood trail to follow. 200m is far enough for me to push my 222 and most of my shots are under 100m so the little 50 grain pills are perfect for what i do.
