[QUOTE="Liberator, post: 1737612, member: 61338"] I've killed many deer in the Northwest before the cal. restrictions. All were one shot kills. Farthest one went was maybe 30 yards down hill. Back in those days we used 55 soft points of unknown Mfr. Up close ,they would frag, so we shot head or neck. Farther off, they would mushroom well, usually found under the hide on the off side. To let you know how long ago this was, I used a Remington 760 pump in 223 Rem that I bought new. Still have it. :) I've always thought that we would have been better served with a demonstrated accuracy from the hunter for hunting than a caliber restriction. My buddies also used 22-250's but bullet blow up was bad. The 22-250 with a 65 Gameking would do great. Just my experience. [/QUOTE]
