hey man i had a slight urge like yaself to tackle game with light cals.. my go to fox gun is a sako a1 222 .....
was reloading the 55gr projies an preferred SP , but this at 2700 or so fps actually helps the little round penetrate a tad better as opposed to violently opening up (which they still do)
the larger deer Hinds were felled just in the arm pit aiming for the heart, over in NZ with the reds id rekon neck shots could be in order and all hinds covered with good placement, it addds to the hunt aswell, not shooting alarmed deer and being patient to get the shot on the unalarmed deer is very satisfying.
disclaimer, would i ever advise someone to use a sub appropriate calibre - No. it is for a specialist application-
