I've killed a lot of deer with the .22center fires. Not by original intent, as my early experiences with it were poor. However, by seeing the results of the people I had contact with on the job, I retried my efforts, and now prefer it to all other cartridges.
First, Forget the plastic point, or Hollow points, except maybe for those at or above 60gr. Then, only use those intended for game. The match bullets will likely not expand a longer distances, and may fragment at closer ranges and fail to penetrate adequately.
I've had outstanding success with the Sierra 40gr HP in the .22Hornet, but that is another story for another day. (It's designed for 4,000+fps from large C.F.'s, so performs quite well in the little Hornet). I must also digress to state that the sole deer shot with a 35gr V-max from the Hornet died in its tracks from a heart shot, but that too is a different matter.
I prefer the 65gr Sierra BTSP, the Hornady 60gr SP (probably the best of all I've tried- exceptionally accurate in ALL .223's I've used it in), and I've tried most all of the 55gr. you can imagine, Including the Nosler 55gr BT. I would just use the Bulk Remington, Winchester,or Hornady 55gr Soft Point, and be content, if using the .223.
For larger cased rounds, I would use only those 60gr or heavier. Keep in mind that the 1-14 twist barrels of some .22-250's and .220 Swifts may not stabilize the 65gr or heavier bullets, except for the Speer 70gr. I would recommend the 63gr Sierra Semi-Point over the Speer however. It has worked very well! Second choice would be the 60gr Hornady. It is probably the Best of all considerations for the .223. However, I now prefer the Sierra 65gr BTSP because of its down-range ballistics. My Rem m7 w/18.5" bbl shoots the Sierra VERY well, and gets essentially 3,000fps m.v. and bullet is fully stabilized in its 1-12twist bbl.
The 70gr Speer is not my favorite, but might be better where the deer run larger than 200lbs, but at distances greater than 200yds the Sierra 65gr BTSP will beat it hands down.
I got aceptable performance from the single deer I shot with the Hornady 60gr V-max, but I won't revisit it as it is; 1. More expensive than any other of the choices; 2. Is so long it takes up a LOT of case space, and the powder reduction hurts more than the plastic tip helps. 3. Was not as accurate as any of the other 60-65gr bullets I've used.
Conclusion: Use any Soft Point 55gr or Heavier unless you are using one of the Ultra velocity rifles (.22-250, .220 Swift, or .223 WSSM). With these, you'll need 60gr or heavier. Avoid the hollow points, they aren't better nor are they needed.
I haven't used any .22cf larger than the .223, so my experiences are slanted towards it.
I haven't used any of the Bear Claws, Partitions, or Solids such as the Barne's, as their expense defeats the purpose of using a .22cf. If I'm going to pay $0.40 or more for a bullet, I'm going to use something bigger, to shoot something bigger, than a mere Whitetail deer!
