[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1795651, member: 109113"] I would second that. There are deer bullets and varmint bullets in most calibers & cartridges. If one is going to use a varmint bullet for deer in a larger caliber, he's probably more likely to get away with it due to having more bullet weight. But with .224" bullets, the ones that are designed specifically for use on deer-sized animals are the only way to go. Even with the heavier .224's, there is no excess of bullet weight to help you out. Stouter construction is really all you've got to get the job done. [/QUOTE]
