Now that is a very convincing post! Congrats for all the great shots..
I'm just starting with the 85.5 Berger bullet which shoots very well. Maybe I'll toss one at a whitetail just for the heck of it.
While I have not tried the 75 graIn ELDm yet, have had excellent luck with the Berger 75 grain VLD in both 8 twist 22-250's and 220 Swift on both deer and antelope. The same holds true with the 62 grain Barnes TTSX.... I have yet to see where I felt I was lacking firepower with any of these bullets.

They're vicious on whitetail when fired from a 22-250. I was amazed by how effective they are.
LOL you're not wrong buddyYou know as the pictures progressed, you went from meh to pretty, weird
I was going to change my vote from I haven't and I don't think it's a good idea. I have used 223/5.56 on pigs and a couple of Whitetail does and it's killed them just fine.
I don't think the majority of the general public should attempt it. Reason being, they are generally over confident in their abilities, they do not know their equipment or spend enough time to become proficient with it. They do not know how to choose the correct bullet for the task at hand and the margin of error is lower for some of the smaller bore diameters, especially if they are running an old outdated slow twist.
That said, this is 10rds from the Browning X-Bolt Predator Hunter I found a month or so back. Lapua Match 69gr Scenar at 2704fps average out of the 22" barrel.
I also have the 77gr TMK, 64gr Nosler Bonded Solid Based, Federal Fusion 62gr and the 75gr Hornady Black SBR Interlock bounded. I am sure any of these will work on our smallish does.
