    I use a vixen 222 quite a lot and the beauty of the caliber is it’s accuracy, most of my hunting is bush or clearings near cover so I don’t shoulder shoot but go for head and neck shots which sack...

    If your last 14 deer were all inside 150y why even bother with cds? You could go old school and zero at 200 and shoot anything out to 250
