[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 860841, member: 30902"] I shot several truck loads of white tails using the same bullet in my .220 swifts for many years. As long as you put it right behind the head in the neck, or right into the heart/lungs without hitting the shoulder they'll kill quite effectively to 400yds. There are however much better calibers that will give you much more reliable clean kills where bullet placement isn't so critical. If you are going to take a broadside heart/lung shot wait till the front leg is extended giving you a clear pass on the femur before pulling the trigger. Even better would be a shot angling slightly away where you can then easily lay it in without hitting anything other than rib. At 200yds or less there is however a risk of it blowing up completely without penetrating to the vitals due to the velocity. Hornady also makes the 60gr interlock in 22-250 loaded ammo.
