Thread: The ‘controversial.222’

Comes down to realistic range along with shot placement. Several years ago I targetted a large red stag that was leaving a scuff mark in his tracks. After avery complex stalk I shot him with my 308; one shot kill. When I examined him he had had one back leg shot off at the knee and when I butchered the animal I found a 223 bullet encased within his other side rump. I later discovered that a heli recovery op had not recovered a large stag they had been shooting at from the air , in that area.
