Bullets like the Barnes T/TSX line have made cartridges like the 22-250 into viable deer guns. On the other hand, a lot of cartridges are and always have been viable choices, and were often used, until "Magnum-itis" became so infectious in the shooting world. The 243, on elk, for example.

One of my best friends sons killed his first cow elk with a Remington Model 7 in 7-08...worked fine.
I think maybe some folks get a gun they aren't comfortable shooting due to recoil...consequently they don't like to practice with it and it goes down hill from there. |
