Steve Davis assured me I could shoot deer with my .204 Rugers; Dakota Varminter for me, for my wife, .204 Sako 85. And, pretty sure we could.
Friend of mine, real John Wayne, our MT hunting mentor, began working in the Oregon logging woods at 16, shot a bear that was bothering his horses, after FWLP failed to intervene with a .22 Mag. DRT. Right in the f'in head!
They shot way bigger animals in Africa with a .17 Hornet.
Have other rifles, so not going to, but I do trust Steve that I could if pressed. Just as the Nosler Partition was a game-changer, so is the Hammer.
Takes a while for new ideas to gain traction.
