I have an old friend that did a few seasons as a culler for the NZFS and when the new super 222 calibre came on the scene he was right into it. Long story short he struggled through one season and went to the 270, which he still swears by. As he said to me while we were dressing a brahman bull a couple of years ago "you never hear about the balls ups that come from using a varmint calibre on big game" He still has that lovely little Vixen but only for varmints and dogs.
For my own part Ive shot a couple of Fallow with a 223 with resulting dead animals but Ive never been impressed with the performance personally.
