That's a 30-06 cartridge.  At least that's what the picture was under.
Iguess they might have taken the picture of the wrong round and used it
everywhere though.  Nothing to do with a .22, everything to do with the
silvertip/nickle 30-06 cases, since those are the ones I'm talking about.

Deer mostly.  Havn't had a chance to this season though, have a GA license,
we'll see if I get any in over thanksgiving.  It's pretty hard to just wound
something with one of these rounds.   Pretty nasty stuff happens once it
enters.
