    Now wait a minute, there is one calibre on that list that is conspicuous in its absence: the trusty .222

    Legend has it that 89% of deer cullers used a .222 with great success. Some may consider this to not be a suitable deer rifle, but hear me out...

    Would love to see statistics of where most newly made/commercial .303 ends up.

    Suspect Canada/NZ/Oz would be top 3 in that order with the UK coming behind all of them, just like everything else
