[QUOTE="PawneeStrider74a, post: 1795483, member: 93908"] People kill deer with 22 long rifles and 22 Magnums. I have lost a few deer shot with Army issue 5.56 ammo in my youth. We had a 12 or more point white tail hanging around our farms a few years ago. Someone shot it with a 220 Swift; it was never found. I don't think the 22s are adequate for most deer hunting but then the 22 Hornet with a 46gr soft point under 100 yards is something else, eh? You know that from the time it was commercial available until after WWII the Natives in Alaska hunted everything with this round. [/QUOTE]
