Thread: The ‘controversial.222’

nothing wrong with 222-223 for goats and deer you just have to be a lot more onto it with shot placement

i have a good mate who is a part time pro goat shooter and shoots a fair few deer aswell (not for work)
shoots them all with 204 ruger and 40gn vmax
granted he is a very good shot and is head shooting 99% of the time
but i think the moral of the story is shot placement is key regardless of caliber used
hell if your shot placement was on song and you had good stalking skills 22wmr or 22lr would be the only rifle you ever need
bigger centerfires just make life that bit easier
