    I’ve shot deer with 222 and 223, never lost any ( but close to looking a big red hind with a through and through which I blame on the PMC projectile not expanding properly- went between ribs on entry and exit).
    But once I got the Finnwolf I pretty much stud with using it with CAC 180 grain hollow points then when they ran out it was 165grain Lapua projectiles.
    With the 308 I had less concern when bush hunting regarding twigs between me and the deer (which I HAD identified 100% as being deer).
    Nothing against 222 & 223, just you need to have a clear(er) route to the target)

    PS: on a really REALLY wet day up the Young when I could clearly see the spiker but hardly see through the scope I dropped the spiker AFTER the 180 grain CAC had gone through a young beech tree the diameter of a beer stubby. THEN went through the the spiker and stopping under the skin on the far side.
