Yes, any centerfire...
Yeah but still use a caliber that will humanly kill it....such as .243 WIN for a starting point
I have heard Texas has small deer. Might want to double-check on that.
anything centerfire goes now, I believe the rule vacillated in the past.
"10 grains in the right place" , eh?
Tack driving 17.s eh lol.......243. WIN "min" on Deer for a clean kill....sorry but thats what i think
i thought I recall about 10-15 years ago for one year or two them specifying something akin to:
centerfire: over .22 caliber..................., leaving some doubt to the .22x...
Of course I could be completely wrong.
