[QUOTE="kiwi49, post: 2228596, member: 82514"] 222 and 223 Rem have been used VERY successfully by deer cullers in New Zealand in years gone by. 303 Brit was the Gov't provided firearm just after WW2 - full woods, ex- military and FMJ. After using 222 (found wanting at longer ranges), 223 was the replacement. Standard twists and light bullets were OK at shorter ranges but not good for ethical kills at further distances. Head/neck shots were the best medicine. Deer are pests according to our Dept of Conservation. Their prime methodology is air dropped 1080 poison. Go figure. [/QUOTE]
