    .222 and .223 with 50-55gr pills have been used prolifically in NZ for many years to shoot deer. Nothing new really, other than the heavy for calibre high BC pills now do it even better. It just looks like the Yank mentality of big magnum cartridges is wearing off now that social media has opened their eyes to what
    the smaller calibres are actually capable of. Especially now with their PRS shooting and competitions teaching them to shoot more competently.
