[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1317587, member: 30902"] The closest thing I've seen to a single bullet to "do it all" and do it all well is the Peregrine VRG3 and VLR4. Every one I've fired on game opened up no matter how close or far and none of them broke up. Whether shooting big hogs behind the ear, little pigs through the ribs, deer through the shoulder/spine or heart/lung nothing blew up, nothing ran off, and all were stone dead in two steps or less with the vast majority just hitting the ground dead without ever taking a step. The only real problem I see for you is on the Roe because they have very small bodies and thin/soft skin without much in between. Up close I'd say stick to head/neck shots and beyond 200m stick to the through the ribs and lungs shot and you'll probably fare best. Game of that size and smaller really cries out for something like the .22 Hornet which is what helped build the popularity for the round in Europe initially. It was also excellent for hares/rabbits and varmints. I don't currently own one but the .22H is one of my all time favorite calibers and I've had at least one of them most of my life. Out to 300-400m in an accurate platform it's a whole lot of fun and very effective. [/QUOTE]
