Thread: 222 vs Fallow

When I was culling and meat hunting I used the 222 Rem a lot and shot plenty of animals, I used the 50 gr Winchester a lot and found it worked well on body shots even on big redskins. It was good for Fallow and sika. The only animal I had a bit of trouble with was a Big Boar up Coromandel when I started culling, hit him in the ear hole at about 40 yards side on, he went down and stood straight back up, plugged him again in the same place and down he went but was struggling to get up so I shot him in the heart and that settled him down, estimated weight of boar was around 180 pounds. Shoulder shooting deer was never a problem especially the smaller varieties. Used many different brands of ammo, Sako, Norma, Federal, Winchester etc all seemed to work fine along with hand loads.
