The .22 Savage Hi-Power's relatively high velocity for the time and "shocking" power led to an initial surge of popularity, and was attributed with almost magical killing powers even on large and dangerous soft-skinned game such as tigers. Missionary H. R. Caldwell used his .22 Savage Hi-Power on a 400 pound tiger in China with success, something the Savage rifle company exploited in its advertising for the cartridge in the early days. The famous elephant-hunter W. D. M. Bell used a .22 Savage Hi-Power to kill forest buffalo in West Africa in the 1920s, and reported in his magazine articles that the cartridge was popular at that time for red deer stalking in Scotland. While it was used in the UK on deer as large as Red Stags, it fell out of favour as a big game cartridge after being superseded by other cartridge developments such as the .250-3000. As time went on, other .22 centerfire cartridges outstripped it in performance such as the .220 Swift, and with the advent of the .223 Remington in the 1960s, the cartridge was considered obsolete.[2] Today it is regarded as a vintage round, and aficionados use it for small game hunting in similar applications as the .223 Remington, though it is used for deer hunting where it is legal to do so. In Europe the cartridge is still chambered in drillings and similar combination guns, and the cartridge is still used by hunters for smaller European deer species such as Roe deer.[3]

Here are a couple I have. I saved up to buy this box of Bismuth when I was 14. The 25-06 I just recently inherited from my grandad. I don't know that year but it's old.

Here's an interesting one that was given to me at a public range. Guy was afraid to shoot them.

Here's some old Winchester 20ga from a garage sale.

I've seen a couple of posts with the same/similar ammo. These are both lead shot. The Winchester duck and pheasant was bought in 1979 at a Western Auto that was on Bell road in Phoenix AZ. The Remington duck and pheasant was bought the same year at a K-Mart that was either off of Cactus or Thunderbird road. Both are still lead shot.

Yep, duck and pheasant 2 3/4 #4’s is about all we ever shot, yep lead! We didn’t shoot the Remingtons much, they were a tad longer when fired, they would hang up in my dad’s A5. Those duck and pheasant helped us kill many a duck back in the day. They even killed a bunch of turkeys too!!!!!!! Man, I miss those days duck hunting with my dad! If I were still a drinking man, I would grab me a good bottle of bourbon, pour some in a glass, coke and ice, give the coke and ice to my wife and really go back down memory lane. I think I’ll go run a cloth over a few old guns.
