I asked this on another forum and i got mixed results, everyone here seems pretty knowledgeable so i'll see what you guys think. I know that this is frowned upon, and no one should shoot a game animal with a cartridge that is not adequate for that particular animal. But i personaly know 3 people that have shot whitetail deer using a .22 magnum, all were head shots and all were dropped in there tracks, one being a 200lb 10 point buck. Now what i'm trying to get at is what kind of ammo would be best for head shots on whitetail deer? Would it be FMJ so it would penetrate better or would you use the V-max bullets for better expantion? I don't think i would every use a .22 magnum on deer but in case the need arises what should i use?
