Anyone that would hunt dangerous game with a 220 swift or like calibers in my oppinion is not right in the head and is going to end up at the bottom of the food chain.

Well, penetration on a steel target has nothing to do with being deadly on deer.
I shoot a 257 WBY exclusively and I am pretty sure it is the most devestating deer cartridge ever produced. I have also shot the 220 plenty and it is a great round but, it doesn't hold a candle to the 257 WBY for deer sized animals.

Roy Weatherby's favorite caliber, and he had his choices of them all...

Same rate of success but I have 41 animals including 3 ricochet shots and 3 using a mirror!
