The .25-06 is lethal, too.I have whacked quite a few whitetail deer with a 22 caliber--fast 22s like a 22-250,22 creedmoor or 22-6mm work wonders on our Texas deer. I have been shooting my 22 creedmoor and hammered a axis doe about 2 weeks ago after snowmeggdon down here, 88 ELD hammered her at 200 yards. I like larger calibers but it works. I shave shot them with 222,223, and smaller stuff like 22 hornet--but really heavy bullet,fast stepping 22 caliber are where a deer rife should start--at least down here.
