These guys disagree with RS’s caliber choices

Yeah, I thought it was like a program being written with a back door security entry with the story of the 22 Hornet dropping the buffalo. His mind has already been infected with the sickness. He will be posting in the 22 Hornet thread here soon about how a 1.5 year old Mule Deer became a freezer pleaser. The intrigue is like a small worm getting larger and larger. It has taken root.

I was raised on a ranch in southern New Mexico. I've seen Mule deer killed with almost every caliber made. My mother was very creative in cooking deer meat. I got a 222 Remington 722 for my birthday in 1954. The 50 grain bullet accounted for more deer kills on that ranch than all the others combined. I shoot a 6MM now and when I can go hunting it is deadly. I guess I was ignorant about what was needed to kill a deer as I didn't read the gun rags of the day.

I’ve heard so many good things about the 222 and 50gr soft points. I have been looking for one for a couple years now and they were either a Savage 340 with that wonky scope mount, or they were a $1500 Sako. This T3 was a great middle ground.

That's a lot of hair product for human history, much less mythology ....

I read about 8 words. Didn't really seem worth going beyond that
