""No but I'm wondering at what range did you get that kind of penetration. I'm guessing it was relatively short range. Couple that with the fact that you have many .24 pellets doing damage gives you a dead deer. On the other hand, that .22 Hornet shot at 100 yds won't penetrate as deep and won't do the required shock damage necessary for a consistently clean kill."" from first page--

22 Hornet is barely a coyote bullet at 100 yds let alone a deer.

At 20 yds or less, if an ememgency, by an experience shooter.
