A heavy bullet in a .243win. works great usually very consistant with minimal pelt damage..22cals and the .20cal. have very frangible bullets that usually dont exit.My favorite is the Hornady 40gr VMAX.Lately I have been using them in a .22 hornet,out to 150yds.Beyond that they dont have power to expand properly.I use them in anything .22cal..I have been using the .204 for longer range and to me it equals the .22-250 and so far few have exited even at 400yds.But when they do,there is a big hole to sew up. sam.
