CJ, I bought my Wife a Rem 222 about 20 years ago. Last year, she gave it to my 10 year old Grandson. He has taken 2 deer and one hog with it. We also reload for it but I haven't found much difference in any of the recipes.

If we are under 100 yards and have good shot placement, it is a great little gun. However, it doesn't provide a lot of shock. He shot a buck with it last year. A perfect heart shot at about 50 yards. The deer ran about 75 yards, turned around to look at what the noise was, and fell over dead. It never knew it had been hit.

The caliber has set a lot of records.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
