[QUOTE="Aussie, post: 12806, member: 2447"] DoubleD , Lots of wiser people than me think that 1000 foot pounds of retained energy is a reasonable minimum for deer . The .22's will struggle to give you that at 600 yards , even with 80gn VLD's. Should get around 3300 fps with 80gn out of the .22/250AI , more with the .22/6mm but have read of problems with integrity / accuracy of .22 VLD's at those velocities . .243 would also need VLD's at that range to retain 1000 FPE which would mean an 8 inch twist barrel .
