Managed to call this one in, and took her at about fifty yards.  Mouth call, .222 Remington, 50 gr.

Nice! Are you using soft point or hp? Or a ballistic tip? Love the .222!
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

Amen

I have found the soft point to be more forgiving....especially with  a hit that might be less than solid.  I hunt for fur, and yes, a  ballistic tip might not exit with a solid hit, but soft points rarely make a large exit, and if you have to put one up a runner's tailpipe, the soft point will penetrate better.  So soft points for me.
