[QUOTE="Skimbleshanks, post: 1734739, member: 22552"] Ive killed deer with 55 grain bullets from a 22-250 going 3650 and with 175s out of a 30-06 going 2700. Some ran a ways. Some dropped where they stood. It's a crap shoot. I used the 22-250 when I was young and didn't have many guns. These days I tend to favor a slightly heavier than necessary bullet. Not because it kills better, but because it can open up shot opportunities that a light fast bullet wouldn't hold up to. Ruins less meat too. [/QUOTE]
