[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 2228671, member: 109113"] I fully agree that the fast 22 cartridges are vastly under-rated, and mostly by guys who haven't tried them. I don't have anywhere near the experience with them that you do, but all my experiences have all been positive. The 64-grain Winchester Power point and the 70-grain Speer have both been very good deer killers for me, in the standard 22-250. All heart/lung area shot placement at 75 to 150 yards on whitetail deer. Out of about a dozen animals, none ran after the shot - all went right down. I didn't find any bullets as they all exited the animals. Exit wounds were about the size of a nickel. I don't have any long range experience, but I'm not surprised to read that yours has all been good. I know guys in eastern Montana & North Dakota who shoot everything with the 220 Swift, and nobody has any complaints. They also don't get too fancy with bullet selection, using whatever they can find in factory loads. [/QUOTE]
