I need your knowledge. What is the smallest "22 centerfire", that you would feel comfortable with for taking a whitetail. Without having to follow a bloodtrail a long distance?
I have seen a .22 Hornet drop two deer in their tracks. Not advising that is a good deer gun. I would stick with .243 and up. Just my .02
my dad uses nothing but a 22 hornet and he's never had a problem killing anything. deer, hogs etc.
