[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1539614, member: 10755"] Well, this is interesting! Here in Australia, we shoot many Kangaroos under permit, I often would use a 222, 22-250, 22-250AI or 25-06 since my 300 was off being customised. Under the permit restrictions, head shots are mandatory and we often get audited regarding this. Anyway, I hit a very large buck in the nose with my 25-06 and a 100gr Speer Hot Cor, it DID NOT penetrate past his upper jaw bone. It took an additional 2 chest hits, on the run (hop) I might add, to bring this fella down, in fact, it was a fence that stopped him. I don’t think the result would have been the same with a 22 of any discription. Pound for pound, Kangaroos and feral cats here are the hardest to put down, they just soak up hits like nothing happened. I’m glad your 22 got the deer, I normally don’t use 22’s on deer here, but the 22-250AI has had a work out on the Fallow deer here, they only weigh 100kg on the hoof (220lbs). The 25-06 gets a bang flop every single time on these deer. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
