Once while visiting LL Bean, I saw a mounted cougar that was killed with a .22 magnum. Apparently this worked quite well, as the cat seemed rather stuffed. I still wouldn't recommend the .22 magnum, as it wasn't designed for the task.
Perhaps we should just recommend that all new posters use SMK's and aim for the head, out to, oh, say 700yds? Or we could try a fancy idea such as recommending a soft point for the majority of posters who will never see a deer past 300yds.
