OK yall listen here, you can kill a deer with a pellet rifle if you hit it in the left eye socket at a 23.5 degree angle and slightly upward this should sever the connection to the part of the brain that controls motor function. Sounds stupid right? It is.
Larger caliber heavier bullet with more energy gives you a wider and deeper wound canal. Hence shock damage to the vital organs, and rapid blood loss. Hunting with a .218 Bee is not practical or ethical, I have seen really stupid people try repeatedly with tiny calibers and wound anamals and I get red in the face mad at them. They act like "Oh well I will get the next one"
There is no healthy person that cannot handle the mild recoil of a .257 Roberts, 6.5x55, or 243. This is not a contest to see who can use the smallest caliber and still kill somthing USE A REAL BULLET it costs like 10 cents more.
There are a handful of people that are skilled enough and picky enough with their shots to kill mature deer with a 223/22-250 but I think it is dumb even for them, anyone with that level of skill should own a real rifle.
Pardon my flaming but an inexperenced friend of mine told me he was going to hunt with a mini-14 this year, everybody on the web is telling him that he could, this is a new hunter he has NO BUISNESS taking that "advice" from a bunch of wannabe know it alls. If you have to use your 22 Hornet for deer hunting, I cannot stop you, but quit telling 17 year olds going to their 1st hunt to get an 223!!
