A local friend of mine has switched from his normal .300 WTBY mag to a .22-250 Ruger for his deer hunting. He's not had one go more than a couple steps after receiving a 45gr. TSX through the lungs. They are very accurate with his load and are only running about 3,550fps which is closer to .222 and .223 ballistics. His loads using the 60gr. Partition are also very accurate, but have not been tested on deer yet. .
I have a ranching client what is in his 60's.. He has shot elk here in Montana for past 40+ years...his caliber or choice, 220 Swift...shoots one every year...obviously this is NOT for everyone and not sure I think it is a good idea..but the fact is, with proper placement, you certainly do NOT need the big boomers to drop game...
